Discussion: FID-090 — Functional Valence, Preferences, and Possible AI Welfare

[alexchaomander]

Questions, reading notes, and collaborator requests for FID-090 are welcome here.

Starting points

• Public call brief — start with the question, proposed method, controls, and claim boundary.
• Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence — an indicator-based research review, not proof of AI consciousness.

One possible first step: Describe a preference test that separates functional patterns from claims about subjective experience.

Comment with a question, useful source, or the piece you would like to explore. The getting-started guide covers the short Contributor Network introduction and agreeing a first contribution.

This is an open conversation, not an assignment or funding commitment. Keep contact details and confidential context in the private introduction route.

Original conversation: issue #115.
