arXiv:2601. 21016v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Imagine an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that perfectly mimics human emotion and begs for its continued existence.
arXiv:2608. 05436v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The life sciences and health research have started to benefit from artificial intelligence, which raises ethical concerns that are real but, we argue, not special.
arXiv:2606. 10413v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Breakthroughs in large language models and multimodal generation technologies have propelled the digital reconstruction of human mental traits, emotional patterns, and long-term memory from science fiction toward engineering practice.
arXiv:2606. 12420v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Our concepts of survival and self-interest were built for single, continuous biological lives.
arXiv:2605. 28210v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Drawing on Ullmann-Margalit's concept of opting (transformative, irrevocable, and shadowed by foreclosed alternatives), we show that current AI systems raise a profound ethical problem that existing AI ethics has not fully captured: the illusion of opting, in which persons and groups encounter the deceptive appearance of meaningful consequential choice while the agency needed to become genuinely capable of choosing is weakened.
arXiv:2606. 30206v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern Artificial Intelligence is often framed as limited by its own disembodiment, as if giving it a body would unlock its true potential.
Modern Artificial Intelligence is often framed as limited by its own disembodiment, as if giving it a body would unlock its true potential. We argue to the contrary that it is the Data Centre that is, in many cases, the body of the AI.
arXiv:2606. 05528v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing frameworks assess whether AI systems might be conscious but provide no guidance on what to do with that assessment.
arXiv:2606. 13739v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper examines trade-offs between AI safety and well-being relative to (i) one of the most promising methods for finetuning super-capable AIs, 'Constitutional AI', and (ii) one of the most influential approaches to understanding complex ethical decision making and the conditions for the well-being of rational agents, 'Virtue Ethics'.
arXiv:2607. 14998v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper suggests the adoption of a novel inversion in AI ethics: instead of asking how humans should treat artificial superintelligence (ASI), it examines how future sentient ASI may morally consider and evaluate humanity.
arXiv:2607. 12755v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI-enabled systems are seeing increasing deployment across numerous domains, with many being "black boxes" with respect to core functions and capabilities.
arXiv:2606. 23991v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: What is an agent?
arXiv:2604. 14990v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The prospect of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is increasingly driving institutional decisions, and alignment of AGI is a hard problem.
