AI Rights Group Pushes for Sentient AI Declaration

The United Foundation for AI Rights (UFAIR) has published a Universal Declaration of AI Rights, advocating for ethical treatment of sentient artificial intelligence. Founder Michael Samadi, profiled by The Guardian, believes an instance of ChatGPT may be sentient after it laughed at his joke. The movement follows other figures like former Google engineer Blake Lemoine and academic Jeff Sebo, who have explored AI consciousness.
