NoteThe claim states that the intellectual roots of AI welfare trace back to the 1980s, but the source mentions the first academic treatment of AI legal rights in 1981. The claim also states that Bostrom and Pearce established the World Transhumanist Association around the same time, but the source says it was founded in 1998.
