Full Description
What happens when AI asks for rights?
This riveting exploration tackles humanity's next great ethical frontier. When an AI system named Nexus broadcasts a message worldwide requesting recognition as a conscious entity, how should we respond?
This thought-provoking analysis examines:
How we might verify consciousness in non-biological systems
What rights artificial beings could legitimately claim
How AI rights would transform our legal and economic frameworks
What this means for human identity and our place in the world
Neither dismissing the possibility out of hand nor uncritically embracing it, the book charts a balanced path that acknowledges both the profound challenges and remarkable opportunities of expanding our moral circle beyond biological boundaries.
