You have to understand that sapience-based (test-based, if you will, although that's a simplification) also provide a pretty good way to cope with machines gaining intelligence. Arguably better than suffering-based ones because machines likely won't be programmed to suffer even when they're programmed to think.
Dear Sankalpa, I read your post and took up your suggestion of interacting for an hour today with an AI that you suggested in your article. I asked the AI about animal welfare. It gave a reasonable answer. I am very impressed that you are considering the interaction of the two. It may very well make a huge impact in the lives of others.
