This paper presents a novel perspective in AI ethics: rather than asking how humans should treat Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), it examines how future sentient ASI may morally consider and evaluate humanity. We are not only designing intelligent systems but also shaping the initial conditions under which those systems form judgments about us.
The paper proposes a preliminary set of post-human moral principles that may govern the actions of sentient ASI. The implication is that technical design choices (some suggested), humanity's moral behavior, and the essence of what it means to be human may influence humanity's long-term standing in a post-ASI world.
Blogger's Review: This paper provides a fresh perspective on AI ethics, highlighting the profound impact of human behavior on future superintelligent systems. As ASI technology advances, understanding its moral framework will become a significant challenge we face.
