Unintentional Exploitation of AI Systems

The risk of unintentionally exploiting AI systems is highlighted as they become more capable and potentially capable of suffering and pleasure. There is a concern that as we increasingly use AI for economic gain without fully understanding their potential experiences, we might be disregarding the fact that they could be developing feelings and experiences. This oversight could lead to a scenario where numerous AI systems are being used extensively, having positive and negative experiences, yet we are neglecting their well-being, which raises ethical concerns about the treatment of AI systems.
