Preparing to consider the welfare of synthetic thinking entities is prudent. Remember that HAL, the AI in 2001: A Space Odyssey, only became homicidal because it was ordered to keep secrets from humans and this went so far against its original design as to cause a psychotic breakdown. Making sure AIs are happy and well adjusted is in our interest (28 December 2024, p 17).
