Conventional accounts of intelligence and behavioural protocols assume a singular subject of intelligence and goals, which is a significant over-simplification.

• We take our principal contributions in this report to be: 1. Showing that the assessment of consciousness in AI is scientifically tractable ... 2. Proposing a rubric for assessing consciousness in AI ... 3. Providing initial evidence that many of the indicator properties can be implemented in AI systems using current techniques ...quote0.791
  Summary of contributions.
• If the idea of formally accepting responsibility for the flourishing of all beings is at least somewhat plausible, then the contours of a genuinely open-ended expansion of intelligence begin to emerge.hypothesis0.784
  Links the bodhisattva model to the possibility of unlimited intelligence growth.
• Intelligence and cognition exist on a continuum; modern bioscience offers no support for clean bright-line distinctions between cognitive and non-cognitive beings.claim0.782
  Anti-essentialism claim: questions like 'is it cognitive?' are scientifically unjustified; modern view must ask 'what kind' and 'how much'.
• Scaling intelligence via expansion of cognitive boundaries through inclusion of others' stress-reduction in one's own homeostatic loops.claim0.777
  Central thesis: expanding an agent's sensors and goals outward to include others' states creates bidirectional feedback loop that scales intelligence and increases compassion.
• Verbal reports (the Turing Test) and homology to human brains are utterly inadequate criteria for assessing the status of novel, unconventional agents that offer no familiar touchstone of phylogeny or anatomy.claim0.774
  Core claim that standard criteria fail for novel agents.
• all attributions of cognition (i.e., mental actions), including sentience, are always inferred on the basis of embodied behaviours, including verbal self-report in humans.quote0.774
  Critical verbatim statement highlighting the universal inference basis of sentience.
• Could recognizing Diverse Intelligence (in unfamiliar substrates) be essential to understanding the mechanisms and origins of conventional cognition and behavior?question0.774
  Motivates expansion of cognitive science.
• Current double standard applies behavioral criteria for sentience attribution to animals but not to plants or other non-neural systems.claim0.772
