Well I don't agree with how those terms were defined, but I do think anyone trying to build machines that can act in a manner even slightly outside of "dumb" automation should REALLY consider the implications. Given that most of ML/DL as an industry, not to mention every investor, is foaming at the mouth over millions or even billions of "installs" or users, I'd say they have already failed.
Is there an easy example of a non-conscious entity with morally relevant agency?
