certain about so we must do the best we can in the absence of
certainty, and I think it would be a pretty good assumption that both
you and your dog and the AI are all capable of feeling happy and sad. *

*So should we take morality into account in the way we treat AI's? I
don't think that is an interesting question because in the long run it
makes no difference if the answer is yes or no. A much more
interesting question is, **should an AI take morality into account in
the way it treats humans?*
