Peter N. Salib

Simon's a researcher focused on AI safety and the philosophy of AI.

And I find Simon's recent work really quite striking because while a lot of proposals for making AI safe and beneficial for humans are basically about ta- trying to tightly control AIs, what he and his frequent collaborator Peter Salib propose is, in a sense, actually giving AIs more freedom.

Specifically, they argue that we should be giving AIs certain rights.

Now, on the surface, this does feel quite counterintuitive and kind of unexpected.

That is a very useful summary.

Thank you.

Um, so you and Peter Salib also think that there is a separate case for giving AI this package of rights that isn't strictly about making humanity safer.

Um, instead, um, the idea is that doing so would be good for the economy.
