Summary

This paper introduces Sentientist Coherent Extrapolated Volition (SCEV) as an alternative to traditional value-learning models like CEV, which focus only on human preferences. SCEV emphasizes including all sentient beings—non-human animals and potential digital minds—in AI design. By integrating the interests of all sentient beings, SCEV aims to prevent catastrophic outcomes and reduce suffering risks associated with excluding non-humans from AI alignment.
