I think this is a crucial question that demands much more research. The fear the digital minds will suffer is a great concern of mine, but also from this perspective I fear that an ASI which is not sentient may not have a robust morality, no intrinsic morality, hence may in the long run not care about biological and digital suffering.
Thanks, very interesting post.

I tried to map the main questions arising from this topic in this post Will Sentience Make AI’s Morality Better?
