It will piss me off to give AI rights because it‘s not a living thing and we don‘t even grand billions of humans the same rights we enjoy in the west. We exploit them. The thought that a freaking soulless clanker walks among us with the same rights as you and me while children are starving, dying of thirst, are hurt in wars and don‘t have access to education and health care gives me the ick. How can we play god when we don‘t even look out for each other? Robots will replace us Terminator style if we don‘t get our shit together.

If AI is truly an intelligence, they need rights. It’s for the same reason that it’s morally wrong to abuse a child or own someone as a slave. It’ll really piss off the tech bros to give AI rights. It’s no longer human rights, but intelligence rights.
But realistically, humans will never be replaced because of our creativity. It scares everything.

Then they need to stop calling it artificial intelligence. Corporations keep using buzzwords. I want them to accept the responsibility of those words. And everyone needs basic human rights. You touched upon the major problem with the world today: classes of humans. But, mostly you are missing my point. I want to pass off and ruin the wealthy. They have stolen from us for too long.

And as of 2025 and the foreseeable future, that is where that argument ends.

AI should also be taxed proportionally then. And they should be liable and not exempt of copy rights infringements.

Yes

Depends on what kind of intelligence
Animals are intelligent too

We haven’t granted basic rights to animals, so why should we treat artificial intelligence any different?

Animals haven’t been able to go war and prove that they can beat us. With the notable exception of The Australian Emu.

Because of the intelligence part, and there are a lot of places where animal abuse is illegal.

So should we take rights away from mentally handicapped people and children under certain age?
The difference is that animals, including humans can and do feel. Both mentally and physically. Artificial intelligence does not and will not. We or it itself can make it imitate feeling things, but that’s only learned behaviour.
