Sentience Institute validates a psychometric scale for 'substratism' — moral bias against AI
jacyanthis · x · 2026-11-13
Sentience Institute published a paper validating a psychometric scale for "substratism": moral bias against AI entities simply because they are made of chips rather than neurons. The 8-item, seven-point scale includes statements like "AI cannot matter morally because of their composition" and "AI can only have fake emotions," aiming to quantify anti-AI moral bias as a measurable construct for future research.
