This is the first book to investigate the nature and extent of artificial intelligence (AI) suffering risks. It argues that AI suffering risk is a serious near-term concern and analyzes approaches for addressing it.

AI systems are currently treated as mere objects, not as bearers of moral standing whose wellbeing may matter in its own right. However, we may soon create AI systems which are capable of suffering and thus have moral standing. This book examines the philosophy and science of AI suffering risks. Its investigation is deeply grounded in philosophy of mind, comparative psychology, the science of consciousness, AI research, and applied AI ethics. The book has three primary goals:

It argues that there is a significant probability that we will soon create AI systems capable of suffering
It presents the first systematic assessment of approaches for reducing AI suffering risks
It provides a rigorous overview and discussion of the most important research and ideas on AI sentience, AI agency, and the grounds of moral status

Saving Artificial Minds is essential reading for researchers and graduate students working on the philosophy or ethics of AI.
