Im thinking about writing a research paper about the ethics of creating and using AI and have a few questions (discussion/question)

1. Why are you as an individual pro or anti Ai

2. What are your ethical views on the creators of AI?

3. What are your ethical views on the users of AI?

4. What are your ethical views on the AI itself?

5. What is your personal definition of sentience?

6. What is your personal definition of sapience?

7. If an AI was able to meet your definitions, how would that change your ethical view of the creators of the AI? (Even a slight change is worth noting)

8. If an AI was able to meet your definitions, how would that change your ethical view of the users of AI?

9. If an AI was able to meet your definitions, how would that change your ethical view of the AI itself?

10. ⁠If you didn’t already cover this in a previous answer, how would an AI being sentient and/or sapient change whether or not it should be allowed to continue existing?

This is probably not an academically sound method of collecting data so I won’t put this in the paper if I do end up writing it. This is just to get an idea of what I should research.

If you already saw this on another subreddit, Im sorry. I want to cast the widest net possible to get a variety of answers.
