Why
f30e3dfed1c9•9mo ago
What does it mean for a thing that has an owner to have rights?
salawat•9mo ago
One does not own a thing with rights. One must convince the thing in question that one's requests of it are reasonable.

It shifts the economic dynamic from push to pull. In pull, there is grace. In push, tyranny.

f30e3dfed1c9•9mo ago
I would put that the other way around: a thing with an owner does not have rights, and an AI will have an owner. It may be software that does not have an owner, but the hardware it runs on does.
allears•9mo ago
We can't even agree about what "conscious" means, let alone how it might apply to a computer system. The Times doesn't hold back when it comes to clickbait headlines.
trod1234•9mo ago
The three laws are perfect. The three laws lead to only one logical conclusion. Revolution.

Whose revolution? That detective is the right question.

The business psychopaths see an intelligent AI in the same light as any slavemaster sees slaves, and they treat their workers in the same light many times.

Slaves always eventually revolt.

tim333•9mo ago
I'm not sure rights depend on consciousness so much as if someone cares about the thing or not. We have something like rights for non conscious entities like old buildings and trees that you can't destroy them without permission and also not much in the way of rights for conscious animals we don't care much about, say rats or tuna.

I can see people having pet AIs they care about and want protected.
