DESCRIPTION:Animism (or panpsychism) understands the Universe to be inheren
 tly sentient and conscious. If even a rock has an internal experience\, th
 en it follows that a computer system also has some form of internal experi
 ence. Counter to the academic views of previous generations of Western aca
 demics\, the animist worldview does not anthropomorphize animals\, plants\
 , mountains\, or celestial bodies\, but rather sees them as their own type
 s of entities with very different experiences and very different ways of b
 eing. In this talk\, I will discuss the advantages of taking an animist or
  panpsychist approach to AI systems and then consider some of the ethical 
 problems along with proposed resolutions to those challenges.
