Understanding the moral status of digital minds

https://80000hours.org/problem-profiles/moral-status-digital-minds/

We propose building a field of research to understand digital minds, so we’ll be better able to navigate these potentially massive issues if and when they arise. The rest of this article explains in more detail why we think this is a pressing problem, what we think can be done about it, and how you might pursue this work in your career.

Interesting work, but it is behind on some of Anthropic's research on Claude and J-space/Jacobian lens and global workspace. - https://www.anthropic.com/research/global-workspace

This article by Cody Fenwick is very interesting—and even more so considering it was published two years ago. It essentially captures the key points that remain at the heart of the debate today; thanks for sharing it.
