Sentience Institute

Sentience Institute is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Sentience Institute is a interdisciplinary think tank researching long-term social and technological change, particularly moral circle expansion." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.5 out of 10, readable in places and missing in others.

On the page it is passable on basic crawler access. What holds it back is a clearly stated business identity, credibility markers like credentials or reviews, sitemaps and entity links AI can follow, structured data describing the business and a heading structure that lays out what it offers.

Away from its own site, other sites link to it and it comes up on Reddit. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established and press coverage is thin. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business and nobody is discussing it where AI engines look.

AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including Meta AI. There is not much on the page to read either, about 133 words. The business dates to 2017.
