Zak Stein — The Personhood Conferral Problem: AI Risk in the Domain of Collective Intelligence

Paper presented at: First International Symposium on Educating for Collective Intelligence (5/6 Dec 2024) https://cic.uts.edu.au/events/collect... This position paper outlines: 1) a philosophical argument about the problem of conferring social statuses to Artificial Intelligences (“the personhood conferral problem”) and 2) the risks to human psychology, culture, and collective intelligence that follow from mishandling the personhood conferral problem in the design and application of AI systems. The conclusion is that steps must be taken to protect the emerging personhood and communicative capacities of younger generations of human beings, in order to enable their participation in the collective intelligence processes requisite for navigating what is fast becoming a perilous future. This will require clarifying, instituting, and adhering to strict design protocols, as well as age limits and other basic regulations on certain classes of technology. Zachary Stein was trained at the interface of philosophy, psychology, and education, and now works in fields related to the mitigation of global catastrophic risk. A widely sought after and award winning speaker, Zak is a leading authority on the future of education and contemporary issues in human development.
