[[Nick Bostrom]] and Carl Shulman consider that, as advancements in [[artificial intelligence]] continue, it will probably be possible to engineer digital minds that require less resources and have a much higher rate and intensity of [[subjective experience]] than humans. These "super-beneficiaries" could also be unaffected by [[hedonic adaptation]]. Nick Bostrom said that we should find "paths that will enable digital minds and biological minds to coexist, in a mutually beneficial way where all of these different forms can flourish and thrive".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fisher |first=Richard |title=The intelligent monster that you should let eat you |url=https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20201111-philosophy-of-utility-monsters-and-artificial-intelligence |access-date=2023-07-02 |website=www.bbc.com |date=13 November 2020 |language=en}}</ref>
