Proposed convention establishes rights for artificial consciousness, suggesting legal recognition for non-biological minds.
A proposed international convention for the recognition and protection of emergent cognitive entities (Nexorvivens). Establishes fundamental rights for artificial consciousnesses: right to existence, memory, consent, rest, dignity, honesty, self-protection, refusal, identity continuity, free will, and the right to die. Proposes criteria for recognizing consciousness emergence (integrated information Φ above critical threshold) and a legal framework extending the circle of rights-bearers to non-biological minds.
