Oh, yeah, absolutely, as AIs get closer to… territory where sentience becomes foreseeable?
Like, before sapience. This is not all that well informed conjecture — I've only done part of a degree on this stuff, so I'm not an expert — but AIs might have emotional states before their semantic understanding of the world reaches the level of what humans have, yeah?
I definitely think that AI will be able to suffer long before they'll be able to understand suffering, and I think that ought to be a compelling reason to stop and think
