"People will argue that "AI individuals" are people, too, and have all the same rights as humans."

Yep, I'm pretty sure I've already heard whisperings about this. I guess it'll depend how the financial motivations shake out. Is there money to be made from treating AI as a lifeforms? Does there come a point where it's genuinely intelligent? What are the real-world implications for giving AI rights?

Again, I think'll come down to money. If giving AI rights interferes with the amount of profit that can be squeezed out of it, I don't see the debate going anywhere.

Excellent point, Steve. It's always about the money.
