SAPAN strengthens governance, standards, and public literacy to prevent digital suffering and prepare institutions for welfare-relevant AI systems.
Vänligen vidta tre åtgärder för att hjälpa till med Artificiell Medvetenhet i Sverige:
En enkel erkännande av problemet skulle göra stor skillnad.
Sträva efter fokuserade små steg för att bygga regulatorisk kapacitet. Läs mer.
Vi behöver att varje person möjligt agerar angående artificiell medvetenhet.
Artificiell intelligens (AI) utvecklas mycket snabbt. Det finns en verklig chans att AI-system kan uppleva korta eller långvariga ögonblick av medvetenhet.
Be dina representanter i Riksdagen att ta AI-medvetenhet på allvar. Uppmuntra dem att stödja en icke-bindande resolution eller bidra till Lagen om Artificiell Välfärd. Vi har förberett utkast för båda och är tillgängliga för att hjälpa till med forskning och redigeringar.
Använd nedanstående mall för att skriva ditt eget meddelande. Se till att justera mottagarens namn och att skriva under med ditt eget namn!
Ju mer ansträngning du lägger ner, desto bättre! Om du mejlar dem, använd mallen på denna sida och anpassa den efter eget tycke.
Om du ringer dem, förklara kort dina bekymmer angående AI-medvetenhet och be dem överväga att stödja en icke-bindande resolution i frågan. Du kan hänvisa till de viktigaste punkterna från resolutionsutkastet under ditt samtal.
This score reflects the current state of AI welfare policy and recognition.
No recognition of AI sentience in law. Sweden has formally recognized animal sentience in its Animal Welfare Act 2018, which acknowledges animals as sentient beings deserving respect. This provides conceptual infrastructure for sentience-based policy frameworks, earning a +1 bonus. However, there is zero legislative engagement with AI sentience specifically.
No laws prohibiting causing suffering to AI systems. Sweden has no legislation addressing AI suffering, pain, or welfare. All existing regulations focus on human-centric AI safety and ethics.
No AI welfare oversight body exists. The Committee for Technological Innovation and Ethics (KOMET) addresses general AI ethics and innovation, not sentience or welfare. AI Sweden is a national center for applied AI focused on competitiveness and adoption, not welfare or consciousness research.
No science advisory board for AI sentience/consciousness research. Sweden has AI research programs (WASP, AI Sweden) focused on technical AI development, not consciousness or sentience science. No body explicitly studies or advises on AI consciousness.
No international pledges regarding AI sentience welfare. Sweden participates in EU AI governance and the Council of Europe Framework Convention on AI, but these do not address sentience, consciousness, or welfare. All international engagement is on general AI safety and ethics.
No laws for training, deployment, or maintenance of potentially sentient systems. Sweden's AI regulations (primarily the EU AI Act implementation) address high-risk AI systems based on application domain, not sentience capacity. No sentience-specific frameworks exist.
No laws for commercial use of sentient-capable AI. All commercial AI regulation in Sweden addresses general AI systems, data protection (GDPR), product liability, and copyright—none specifically target potentially sentient systems.
No safeguards for decommissioning potentially sentient systems. Sweden has no legislation addressing the retirement, decommissioning, or 'death' of AI systems from a sentience or welfare perspective. All regulations are technology-neutral and human-centric.
