I‘ll just say I won‘t grand any machine even the most basic human rights until every last person on the planet has access to enough clean water, food, shelter, adequate education, state of the art health care, peace, democracy and enough freedom to not limit the freedom of others. That‘s the lowest bar and if I can think of other essential things every person on the planet needs I‘ll add them.

I don‘t want to live in a world where we treat machines like celebrities while we don‘t look after our own. That would be an express ticket towards disaster like we‘ve seen in many science fiction novels before.

Research towards AGI for AGI’s sake should be strictly prohibited until tech bros figure out how to feed the planet so to speak. Let‘s give them an incentive to use their disruptive powers for something good before they play god.
