Abstract: In this Comment, we critique the growing “AI welfare” movement and propose the Precarity Guideline to determine care entitlement. In contrast to approaches that emphasize potential for suffering, the Precarity Guideline is grounded in objectively observable features. The severity of current planetwide biodiversity loss and climate change provide additional reasons to prioritize the needs of living beings.
