Abstract
Much of AI Ethics has focused on the dangers of superintelligent machine consciousness. However, recent work on the homeostatic/affective basis of consciousness and on developments in soft robotics suggest that we may be able to build simple conscious machines in the relatively near future. As such it is pressing to ask whether we should build machines that may be conscious according to this theory. Here, I argue that we should avoid doing so because we don’t need and certainly don’t want needy conscious machines.
