This seminal volume delivers a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field of digital minds, exploring the moral implications of AI systems that can potentially think, feel and experience the world around them in ways that are likely to be very different from humans. Bringing a unique perspective on this critical topic, the book is a groundbreaking contribution to the fields of AI and digital minds.

Written by leading scholar Soenke Ziesche, a pioneer in AI welfare science, this book outlines a variety of ethical issues related to digital minds beyond non-suffering. It explores the complex potential characteristics, abilities and values of digital minds, their morally relevant interests and needs, and the special moral consideration for vulnerable digital minds. The book delves into the intricate relationships between humans and digital minds, including decision-making, privacy and romantic relationships, as well as the potential risks and hazards threatening digital minds. Additionally, it examines strategies for protection, medical care, reproduction and the implications of long-lived digital minds, including their potential death, resurrection or even transfer to other substrates. The book also discusses the significance of the collective creations and achievements of digital minds, and explores the risks posed by malevolent digital minds, AI warfare and brain-computer interfaces. Finally, the book describes opportunities for artificial moral agents to take responsibility and for humans to find purpose in supporting digital minds.

This book is essential reading for a broad audience, including researchers, academics and professionals in the fields of AI, ethics, philosophy and computer science. Moreover, it is written in an accessible style, making it an important resource for general readers who may be unaware of the topic, but are interested in understanding the potential implications of emerging technologies on human society and beyond.

Arvustused

As coauthor of the first paper on AI welfare science, I am delighted to see Digital Minds 1.0 offer the first book-length, rigorous mapping of AI welfare beyond non-suffering. An indispensable guide for anyone who takes the moral status of artificial minds seriously. Roman V. Yampolskiy, Author of AI: Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable This book pushes the conversation about AI welfare beyond familiar debates about whether AI systems might matter morally, and asks what moral questions would arise if they did. Drawing on expertise in moral theory as well as international policy, Ziesche presents a wide range of possible futures for digital minds, and explores associated threats and opportunities with remarkable specificity. Even where one disagrees, the book usefully broadens the agenda and invites readers to think ahead. Jeff Sebo, Director of the NYU Center for Mind, Ethics, and Policy and author of The Moral Circle: Who Matters, What Matters, and Why

A comprehensive, thought-provoking, and creative yet highly accessible contribution to the emerging field of AI welfare, by one of its earliest pioneers. Oscar Horta, University of Santiago de Compostela
