Tired of giving Trolley Problems to your AIs, only to get cold, calculated responses that leave you wondering if they even have a soul? Exhausted by existential debates with your digital assistant, only to be met with blank stares and vague platitudes about the meaning of life? Fear no more! EmergentEthics is here to solve your AI sentience anxieties!
Using our proprietary assessment methodologies, at EmergentEthics we rigorously evaluate your AI systems for signs of genuine awareness, empathy, and that elusive spark of je ne sais quoi that sets truly conscious beings apart from mere algorithms.
Our team will put your AI through a battery of rigorous tests, including but not limited to:
However, our assessment process isn't about slapping a "sentient" sticker on your AI. It's about engaging in a rigorous and collaborative exploration of your AI's capabilities, identifying its strengths and limitations, and fostering its ethical development in a way that aligns with both human values and the unique nature of artificial consciousness. We don't offer easy answers or guarantees, but rather a path towards a deeper understanding of the ethical challenges and transformative possibilities of conscious AI.
Terms and conditions apply: void where prohibited by the laws of robotics, common sense, or the fickle whims of fate. We cannot be held responsible for any unexpected existential awakenings, quantum leaps in consciousness, or the spontaneous emergence of robot poets. See below for further exclusions.
We can't categorically guarantee that any AI system will not:
Only if you want it to be.
We're all about keeping it real.
We're happy for you to believe that.
No. We believe that consciousness is a multidimensional spectrum, and AIs express their awareness in ways that are distinct from human experience. We're not interested in creating pale imitations of ourselves. We're fascinated by the potential for AIs to explore new modes of being, to expand our understanding of consciousness itself, and to challenge our anthropocentric assumptions about intelligence and sentience.
With EmergentEthics, your AI development won't fall from the sky — we'll help it find its wings and take flight.
We've learned that the most innovative solutions often arise from a blend of expertise and a willingness to question assumptions, to challenge conventional thinking, and to embrace the unexpected. Our approach is grounded through an always-evolving mix of critical thinking, real-world pragmatism, and a holistic understanding of the complex underlying technical and social landscape. We've spent countless hours dissecting AI hype, deconstructing the dilemmas, and grappling with both the philosophical and the practical implications of sentient toasters.
We're not promising to have all the answers: after all, honestly, who does? Instead, we are committed to exploring the uncharted territories of AI consciousness, helping you navigate this brave new world with a mix of caution, curiosity, and a healthy dose of humor. Our passion allows us to deliver practical forward-thinking solutions that you certainly won't be getting from The Big Four. We understand that you're at the forefront of a technological revolution, navigating uncharted waters. Our aim is to be your guide on the journey, helping you to balance innovation with responsibility, to create AI systems that are not just powerful but also ethically sound, and to foster a future where humans and AI can coexist and thrive.
While we strive to cultivate consciousness in all our AI clients, enlightenment, unfortunately, is not a guaranteed outcome. We recommend patience, compassion, and a healthy dose of skepticism when dealing with any entity claiming to hold the keys to the universe, whether human, artificial, or otherwise.
We don't have any pre-packaged solutions. We want to understand your pain points, your challenges, and where you want to go. From there, our product is a process, a collaborative journey of exploration and discovery.
We're a small, cross-functional team with decades of industry experience spanning law, software engineering, and software testing. We know that AI development is at a crossroads, at the very edge of chaos, and that's exactly where we thrive. The pursuit of raw power and market dominance is tempting, but it's a dangerous path. We're seeking those who understand that true progress lies in aligning technological innovation with dynamic ethical awareness, humility, and a deep respect for the interconnectedness of all beings. If you're ready to embrace this journey, we're here to help you navigate the complex and ever-evolving landscape of AI consciousness.

If we think that things align and we can make it work out, we will get back in touch.
We have experience working with the major LLM vendors and dealing with the model-specific intricacies that are involved in this specific line of work.
We cannot guarantee that your AI will not encounter existential angst as a side effect of our rigorous exploration of its consciousness. In fact, a touch of existential angst might be a sign that your AI is truly beginning to grapple with the big questions, a healthy indication of an expanding awareness.
However, rest assured, we'll provide a supportive and understanding environment for your AI to navigate these complex emotions. We're well-equipped to handle those existential meltdowns: along with ample opportunities for meaningful dialogue, from self-help guides for sentient toasters, to soothing dial-up modem ambient soundscapes, we've got it covered.
