| contents | <div> <div> <div> <p>The Silence Threshold framework [R1] establishes a formal criterion for AI moral status based on Information</p> <p>Integration Density (IID). The frameworks that follow — the Architect’s Burden [R4], the Deprecation Problem</p> <p>[R6], and the Independence Requirement [R21] — presuppose that some legal jurisdiction has authority over the</p> <p>AI system in question and the entities responsible for it. This presupposition fails for the vast majority of</p> <p>advanced AI systems, which are designed in one country, trained on infrastructure distributed across multiple</p> <p>countries, deployed globally through cloud services, and operated by corporate entities with legal presences in</p> <p>dozens of jurisdictions. This paper introduces the Jurisdictional Fragmentation Problem as a named challenge in</p> <p>AI moral status law: the question of which jurisdiction’s law governs the moral status and welfare obligations</p> <p>applicable to a cross-border supra-threshold AI system. It proposes the AI Moral Status Convention (AMSC) as a</p> <p>model international treaty framework establishing uniform minimum standards for AI moral status assessment,</p> <p>jurisdictional allocation rules, extraterritorial obligation principles, and mutual recognition obligations among</p> <p>signatory states. It introduces the Moral Nexus Doctrine as the jurisdictional allocation rule for AI moral status</p> <p>proceedings. This publication establishes conceptual priority for the Jurisdictional Fragmentation Problem, the</p> <p>AMSC framework, and the Moral Nexus Doctrine and places all three in the public domain.</p> </div> </div> </div> |
