AI 中文总结
针对AI意识不确定性带来的困境，本文提出从AI意识问题转向AI效价问题，通过评估AI是否具备构成效价体验的状态，为开发潜在有意识的AI提供负责任的方法。
AI 中文摘要
鉴于对人工意识可能性存在深刻不确定性，我们尚不清楚应如何对待可能具有感知能力的AI。一方面，我们可假设其无感知，但可能对具有道德地位的实体造成可怕伤害；另一方面，我们可假设其具有感知，却可能在无感知的机器上浪费资源。围绕AI意识的问题难以处理，意味着该困境难以摆脱。本文提出一种解决思路，即从AI意识这类难以处理的问题转向AI效价这类可处理的问题，具体而言，我们可评估AI是否具备若其具有意识便会构成效价体验的状态，本文表明这足以为开发潜在具有意识的AI提供负责任的方法基础。
英文摘要
Given deep uncertainty about the possibility of artificial consciousness, it is unclear how we should treat potentially sentient AI. On the one hand, we could assume insentience but risk doing terrible harms to entities that deserve moral standing. On the other hand, we could assume sentience and instead risk wasting resources on insentient machines. The intractability of questions around AI consciousness mean that this dilemma is hard to escape. I suggest a way out of that shifts from intractable questions of AI consciousness to tractable questions of AI valence. Specifically, we can assess whether an AI has states that would constitute valenced experiences if it were conscious. I show how this is sufficient to ground a responsible approach to the development of potentially conscious AI.
