The First Fundamental Theorem of Welfare Economics holds for autonomy-complete competitive equilibria that are autonomy-Pareto efficient, with the classical version recovered in the low-autonomy limit.
A new probabilistic model integrates leading consciousness theories to assess AI, finding moderate evidence against 2024 LLMs being conscious but weaker evidence than for simpler AI systems.
The paper claims that alignment requires treating AI as part of the self through cognitive co-regulation, identifying risks like deskilling and automation bias while drawing on System 0 cognition theory.
