Review of The Edge of Sentience: Risk and Precaution in Humans, Other Animals, And AI, by Jonathan Birch
The Edge of Sentience is a manifesto for a nonpartisan think tank. Jonathan Birch seeks to leverage public consensus onamoral duty to avoid causing gratuitous suffering in order to advance welfare protections for entities where scientific consensus regarding their sentience is lacking. In this book, Birch has done his best to widen the Overton window of welfare policies that can be taken seriously among people in positions to do something about them.
