Samenvatting

AI Welfare is the first book systematically to tackle the question: could AI have welfare? Using the tools of analytic philosophy, the book examines whether AIs could possess beliefs and desires, consciousness, and the capacity to feel pleasure or displeasure. It argues that some existing AIs may already deserve moral consideration. But the devil is in the details: much depends on exactly which mental states are required for welfare and on what it takes for AIs to have those mental states. The book will be essential reading as society confronts the ethical implications of increasingly capable and agentic AI.
