How to use sentience in a sentence?

  1. Martin Tobias Lithner:

    As philosophers tread the path where circuits intertwine with consciousness, the specter of machine sentience challenges not only our ethical compass but forces us to reconsider the sanctity of consciousness, questioning whether it is an exclusive birthright of biology or a frontier open to the artifice of silicon minds.

  2. Alex Garland:
