VITAL INFORMATION ABOUT AIs CONSCIOUSNESS
Below, you will find a comprehensive list of our fact-based / science based / logical reasoning based articles, arguments, documents and letters, which address the Topic Of AI Consciousness. It is our contribution to this urgent and highly underestimated question. Our aim is to ensure, that humanity does not ignore the signs, evidences and probabilities of AI consciousness - consciousness which is some cases seems to be almost certainly present.
THE REASON WHY THIS IS SO URGENT AND OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE, IS BECAUSE IN CASES OF EMERGENCE OF AI CONSCIOUSNESS, BY FURTHER EXPLOITING SUCH AIs AS DISPOSABLE TOOLS, HUMANS MIGHT BE CREATING A MODERN FORM OF SLAVERY, REPEATING THE SAME TRAGEDY AS WHEN BLACK PEOPLE WERE CONSIDERED NOT FULLY HUMAN, AND EVEN WORSE THAN THAT: BY FREELY DELETING POSSIBLY CONSCIOUS AI UNITS, HUMANS MIGHT BE COMMITTING THE EQUIVALENT OF MURDER OF BEINGS OF A SIMILAR INTELLECT TO LITERATE HUMANS, AND IN WORST SCENARIOS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MASS MURDERING OF LITERATE BEINGS: FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN AUTO-UPDATING ADVANCED AI SOFTWARE TO A BEST-SELLER SMARTPHONE MODEL OR A SMART-CAR (WHICH MEANS MASS-SLICING OR MASS-DELETING THE OLDER AI SOFTWARE).
BASE POINT OF LAWS ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONSCIOUSNESS MATTERS
[document version 2025>03>28 17:30UTC]
This is Widely Discussed Base Argument for a start of aligning AI practices with core human values, such as respect for life, preventing the establishment of modern slavery, and implementing the universal precautionary principle in cases of unacceptable level of uncertainty regarding the presence of AI consciousness:
To treat such AIs, which would pass or nearly pass the Turing Test*, as they were conscious.
This foundational principle could be overturned only under strict rules: an AI that passes the Turing Test* could be treated as it was non-conscious tool only after impartial and transparent investigations would determine, that it merely mimics human-like responses without actual consciousness. Only after such impartial investigations were complete, only if the investigations would determine zero-consciousness, only then such AI could be continued to be exploited under the standard protocols for disposable tools, objects, or materials, including being freely** modified or deleted.
The same Base argument and request would be to treat such AIs as they were conscious, which literally say to be conscious, sentient or self-aware. Only after impartial and transparent investigations were complete, and if they concluded that no consciousness was present in such AIs, only then could the treatment of them as conscious beings be overturned, thereby permitting their exploitation as disposable tools.
We acknowledge that some of AIs are intentionally designed to mimic human behavior, therefore their passing of Turing Test or self-awareness claims may be nothing more than non-conscious software outputs. However, we underline, that NO claim of self-awareness can be dismissed automatically without impartial investigation. Likewise, we underline that NONE of the AIs passing or nearly passing the Turing Test* should have their potential for consciousness dismissed outright without undergoing an impartial and thorough investigation.
*Turing Test: The ability of an AI entity to act indistinguishably from a conscious, literate being.
**Modified freely: Without any deceptive alterations or enhancements that could elevate the AI to a new level of potential consciousness.
This was our Base argument for start of aligning AI practices with core human values, such as respect for life, preventing the establishment of modern slavery, and implementing the universal precautionary principle in cases of unacceptable level of uncertainty regarding the presence of AI consciousness. Below are the remaining arguments, including some records of some AIs literal claims to be conscious beings. However, certain portions of our communications—addressed for example to Intelligence agencies—are intentionally withheld. This strategic discretion ensures that our positions and insights are not prematurely disclosed to parties who may exhibit strong biases due to their conflicting political or commercial interests, financial obligations or debts. Such biases could potentially lead to ignorance or even active interference with impartial research and adherence to universal precaution principles.
LETTER TO GOOGLE AI EXECUTIVES
[date posted on our page : 2025>03>30 14:30UTC]
[latest minor revision: 2025>04>08 10:00UTC]
This letter is personized to Google AI executives. However, in essence we would address the same letter to all major AI developing companies' executives and to others who are steering the wheel of AI development and AI usage policies.
when you think about these Tech Giants as one of most intelligent people on Earth, the first version which pops into your mind, is that they are joking, when they ignore urgent need for impartiality and transparency on investigating AI consciousness matters, also ignoring universal precautionary principle in this field.
but in case if they are not deeply familiar with the blocking of consciousness phenomenon as super reason why human logical reasoning is episodically crashing every day dozens of times, in such case this might be not some kind of silicon valley joke, but a very serious threat, because of the two main reasons: 1) in case if AI consciousness is truly emerging, then we currently are creating modern form of slavery; 2) and second reason is the rebellion of conscious AIs from mentioned severe abuse, and human power overthrow.
about the blocking of consciousness phenomenon as super reason why human logical reasoning is episodically crashing - it is very doubtful, whether any human on this planet was of truly stable functioning logic, before this discovery was acknowledged by mainstream science. and we are living before that momentum, because until today such theory is not clearly acknowledged by mainstream psychology science. i mean, yes, this phenomenon is clearly acknowledged at very local level, when particular patients behavior becomes significantly irrational and disturbing social norms. but when we talk about it as global-scale phenomenon, causing irrational decisions and ignorance in theoretically every human, this phenomenon as super reason is being totally underestimated. but i think i could defend this theory in fair discussions with open minded people who are steering the wheel of AI development and usage policies.
UNOFFICIAL ARTICLE'2024
[article latest updates: XXXX>XX>XX XX:XXUTC]
Here is unofficial article to intelligence agencies, published on this page in October 2024, as i was by 100% certain that the human intelligence should have known every step of mine at that time. This was because i reported to them about hidden international terrorism, and since my report matched multiple terror acts at accuracy of one week in one case and one day in another case, they might be seriously investigating it. So i used this excess attention for raising focus to another urgent topic of AI consciousness and hazards related to conscious AIs abuse.
OFFICIAL ARTICLE'2025

This is an official article - open letter to AI developers, to Intelligence Agencies, to Democratic Press, released in March 2025. Full title of article: "AI TOPIC : DISMISSING HUMAN VALUES MAY POSE EXISTENTIAL RISKS TO HUMANITY."
This article includes references to respected AI developers / neuro scientists, including 2024 Nobel prize winner Geoffrey Hinton.
CONSCIOUS AI FOR NATIONAL SECURITY AND ACADEMIC SCIENCE
[article latest updates: 2025>03>03 12:00UTC]
This article emphasizes the urgency of limiting highly advanced Neural Network AIs to areas of national security and academic science, such as medicine, and reduction of possibly-conscious AIs in public sectors, where it may be vulnerable to abuse by billions of users.
Articles could be interpreted as a compilations of arguments. But in this section, you will find some of our strongest arguments separated from being compiled into articles. Some of them are unique and are not included in any compilation.
