Nick Bostrom: The Ethics of Digital Minds

Описание: Professor Nick Bostrom, Principal Researcher at the Macrostrategy Research Initiative and the author of Superintelligence, outlined four core challenges in machine intelligence: scalable AI alignment, AI governance, the moral status of digital minds, and intra-superintelligence cooperation. He noted that the ethics of digital minds remains especially neglected, as most people still do not take the issue seriously. Bostrom examined several attributes that might shape whether AI warrants moral consideration, including sentience, agency, potential, and modal status. He concluded by emphasizing that this field is still in its early stages and called for deeper research across technical, philosophical, and institutional dimensions.
