About

Welcome to The Digital Minds Newsletter, a regular publication tracking the fast-developing field of digital minds, AI consciousness, and AI welfare.

This newsletter is written for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, funders, and anyone seriously interested in how advances in AI intersect with the cognition and moral status of advanced AI systems. Each issue provides a structured overview of the important news, research papers, debates, funding opportunities, and events related to the nature of digital minds, their ethical implications, and their societal consequences.

Why?

Our goal is not advocacy. Rather, the Newsletter’s aim is to promote common knowledge about the field and help readers track relevant developments as technology and governance evolve.
