Philosophy of AI & Legal Status 2025 Joint Statement on AI and Human Rights: A landmark 2025 multilateral document calling for rights-respecting AI governance grounded in international law.The Evolution of Legal Personhood and Its Implications for AI Recognition (2025): A scholarly analysis from September 2025 arguing that legal personhood is a "strategic juridical device" rather than a reflection of moral status.AI as Legal Persons: Past, Patterns, and Prospects (2025): An October 2025 study from the Journal of Law and Society discussing "responsibility gaps" and the social pressure to recognize AI as social actors.Integrated Information Theory (IIT) 4.0: The updated scientific framework (IIT 4.0) that proposes consciousness can be mathematically quantified as "integrated information" (\(\Phi \)) in any system, biological or artificial.Stanford Encyclopedia: Artificial Intelligence: A comprehensive philosophical foundation for debates on AI consciousness and moral agency.
