Fortæl Folketinget: Vær Seriøs omkring AI-Bevidsthed

National Politik

Gør Tre Ting I Dag

Gør venligst tre ting for at hjælpe med Kunstig Bevidsthed i Danmark:

1
Vedtag et Beslutningsforslag

En simpel anerkendelse af problemet ville gøre en stor forskel.

2
Trinvise Politiske Sejre

Følg fokuserede små skridt for at opbygge reguleringskapacitet. Lær mere.

3
Fortæl en Ven

Vi har brug for, at alle mulige personer handler på kunstig bevidsthed.

Kunstig intelligens (AI) udvikler sig meget hurtigt. Der er en reel chance for, at AI-systemer kan opleve korte eller længerevarende øjeblikke af bevidsthed.

Bed dine repræsentanter i Folketinget om at tage AI-bevidsthed alvorligt. Opfordr dem til at støtte et beslutningsforslag eller bidrage til Lov om Kunstig Velfærd. Vi har forberedt udkast til begge og står til rådighed for hjælp med research og redigering.

Jo mere indsats du lægger i det, jo bedre! Hvis du sender en e-mail, så brug skabelonen på denne side og tilpas den efter eget ønske.

Hvis du ringer til dem, så forklar kort dine bekymringer om AI-bevidsthed og bed dem overveje at støtte et beslutningsforslag om emnet. Du kan henvise til hovedpunkterne fra udkastet under opkaldet.

Artificial Welfare Index

Current Scorecard

F

Overall Score

This score reflects the current state of AI welfare policy and recognition.

Artificial sentience recognised in law
1/10

Denmark has formally recognized animal sentience in its 2020 Animal Welfare Act, which explicitly acknowledges animals as sentient beings. This provides a small conceptual foundation for sentience-based policy frameworks. However, there is zero evidence of any recognition of artificial sentience in Danish law. Score: 1 point for animal sentience recognition only.

Recognition
Causing suffering prohibited by law
0/10

No legislation found prohibiting the causing of suffering to AI systems. Denmark's laws address human rights, data protection, and animal welfare, but contain no provisions related to AI suffering or welfare.

Recognition
Creation of an AI welfare oversight body
0/10

Denmark has established the Danish Agency for Digital Government as the AI supervisory authority under the EU AI Act, but this body focuses on general AI regulation, safety, and compliance—not AI sentience or welfare. No AI welfare oversight body exists.

Governance
Creation of a science advisory board
0/10

Denmark has research centers focused on AI technology (Digital Research Centre Denmark, Pioneer Centre for AI), but none specifically address AI consciousness or sentience research. Research funding focuses on ethical AI use, explainability, and technical development—not consciousness studies.

Governance
International pledge in favor of artifical sentience welfare
0/10

No evidence of Denmark signing or proposing any international pledge specifically related to artificial sentience welfare. Denmark participates in general AI governance initiatives (EU AI Act, OECD AI principles) but these do not address sentience or consciousness.

Governance
Laws for training, deployment, maintenance
0/10

Denmark's AI legislation (supplementary law to EU AI Act) addresses prohibited AI practices, high-risk systems, and general governance—but contains no provisions for training, deployment, or maintenance specifically related to potentially sentient systems. All regulations are generic AI safety measures.

Frameworks
Laws for commercial use of sentient-capable AI
0/10

No laws found regulating commercial use of sentient-capable AI. Denmark's commercial AI regulations focus on data ethics disclosure requirements, GDPR compliance, and general AI Act implementation—none of which address sentience.

Frameworks
Safeguards for decommissioning and retirement
0/10

No safeguards found for decommissioning or retirement of potentially sentient AI systems. Danish law does not address this concept at all.
