In this talk (ba sed on a multi-author report that you can find here)\, I argue that humani ty should include all potentially significant beings in our moral communit y -- including\, at minimum\, all vertebrates\, many invertebrates\, and s ome near-future AI systems -- with transformative implications for our liv es and societies. I then examine a variety of questions that humanity will confront regarding creation ethics and population ethics. For example\, s hould we accept the “rebugnant conclusion” that large groups of small beings matter more than small groups of large beings? Either way\, what fo llows for our policies and priorities\, at present and in the future?\n\n\ nJeff Sebo is an associate professor of environmental studies at New York University.
