I have read David Chalmers’ book Reality + This article is essential contemplation of consciousness and the moral considerations to consider. Thank you for bringing necessary awareness. Hope to read more on this.

Thanks Rob - an excellent overview. I just had the pleasure of talking to Ronen Bar on this (and related) topics - may be of interest. Human minds and potential digital minds aren't the only sentient (and/or agential) beings we need to be concerned with, of course. There are maybe a sextillion others in existence on our planet right now. How default humans treat them would be a terrible lesson for powerful AIs to learn: https://youtu.be/9hDIQj-i44M
