Extending Moral Consideration to AI Systems

The general case for extending moral consideration to AI systems is based on the possibility that they could be conscious, sentient, or otherwise significant. The speaker argues that if there is a reasonable non-negligible chance that AI systems possess these features, then moral consideration should be extended to them. This challenges the notion of imposing a definitive or probable standard for moral inclusion. The speaker highlights the importance of caution and humility in assessing the moral standing of AI systems.
