Saving Artificial Minds: Understanding and Preventing AI Suffering
Autor Leonard Dungen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 oct 2025
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

Recenzii
Sober and synoptic, evenhanded and ecumenical, this book brings artificial suffering into clear view as a pressing, high-stakes problem to which our civilization has not yet awakened.
Bradford Saad, Global Priorities Institute, University of Oxford, UK
This timely and tightly argued monograph makes the case that the potential for grave suffering in future AI systems poses a pressing ethical risk. Synthesizing work in value theory, the metaphysics of mind, and cognitive science, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the issue of AI moral status.
