The latest episodes of Will Gildea‘s podcast (CRÉ), supported by the Centre de recherche en éthique, discuss AI rights and the issue of paternalism. One of the latest episodes features an interview with Sarah Conly (Bodoin), who advocates for total smoking bans, state-supported calorie reduction measures, and other paternalistic policies designed to reduce freedom in order to increase human happiness.

Another episode draws together interview excerpts with neuroscientists and philosophers of mind to address the following questions: Will AI become entitled to rights? Will AI become sentient? And is this a reason to slow down the development of AI right now?
