David Pearce - AI, AGI and the Problem of Suffering

Talk during Future Day 2023.
Can AI be sentient? Can (pzombie) AIs without sentience be ethical? Do ethical theory? Could an agent which has access to bliss understand suffering?
How might AI help us make sense of ethics?

David Pearce is a philosopher, and a co-founder of the World Transhumanist Association. He authored the Hedonistic Imperative, and the Abolitionist Project.
