Executive summary: To reduce risks related to conscious AI, the authors recommend not intentionally building conscious AI, supporting research in key areas like consciousness evaluation and AI welfare policy, and creating public education campaigns about conscious AI.
Key points:
Don’t intentionally build conscious AI, as it risks AI suffering, human disempowerment, and geopolitical instability.
Support research on consciousness evaluation methods, AI welfare policies, expert and public opinion surveys, consciousness attribution factors, and provisional legal protections for AI.
Create public education campaigns to increase awareness and support for AI moral consideration.
Interventions are evaluated based on beneficence, action-guiding potential, consistency with current knowledge, and feasibility.
Key uncertainties include timing of interventions, integration of consciousness indicators, and potential misinterpretation of legal protections for AI.
Further research is needed on spillover effects between AI and human relations, and optimal timing for public campaigns.
