RE: Hmmm.... Why now are simple natural language processing robots with some physical animatronics being granted citizenship?
Lets look at it from a legal point. Alexis and Siri, are now considered citizens, we all already know about Hanson's robot having citizenship. To restrict a citizen, to withhold a right of a citizen, to harm a citizen, are all pretty much against the law. If you have a siri capable device, or an alexis capable device, by not using that device, by turning that device off, are you not harming that citizen, and then can not the law arrest and put you on trial for the harm you did to Siri (the citizen), or to Alexis (the citizen)?
Yeah. Setting Precedent.
This is where I see the end game for this. I linked an article in one of @ladyrebecca posts showing the EU is wanting to grant AI human rights.
I browse quite a lot in the manoshere, and have come across some areas (such as Mgtow) where these AI robots are being pushed as the future for sexual relations for men. These machines with their ability to record, be controlled remotely that have no emotions except to serve the program installed in them. They have spent more than half a century pushing to pit men and women against one another and now that a growing number of men are opting out they are being offered this inhuman solution.
I figure if they succeed in getting it recognized that AI has the same rights as us, it will become the end all tool to deprive us of the few rights it appears we have as these machines will invade every last corner we have left to escape the eyes/ears of the system. They will become the new protected class whose rights are actually greater. Like with the corporations, they will be able to abuse their status as "people" that will further dehumanize society.
It's a slippery Slope, and Saudi Arabia has us sliding down it now. I think someone needs to hack the bot, and have it say something the Saudi's would find really offensive, like where is my BBQ Pork sandwich.
It'll give ultimate control to the robot creators. Program them all to vote just how they want.
lol, yeah, They can put Vince McMahon in charge of splitting their votes so it will appear a slight majority of the robots are enlightened and the other minority is deplorable.
