<br>
Sorry for the late reply. My spam filter is getting aggressive
again.<br>
<br>
Why?<br>
Because I expect they will be worthy of rights, and it would be
immoral to deny them.<br>
<br>
I'm talking about self-aware, conscious, intelligent, created
beings. What they are made of doesn't matter, as long as they are
self-aware, etc.<br>
<br>
There's no known principle or physical law that I know of that rules
out such beings. They may be made of metal, polymers (biological or
non-biological), ceramics, some combination of things, it doesn't
matter at all. The important thing is what kind of
information-processing they're capable of, and how they measure up
against the human level of intelligence, awareness, etc. I'm
expecting some of them to be capable of a lot more than we are, in
all areas.<br>
<br>
Another factor is related to something that's often said about
'rights' - that those capable of exercising them are worthy of
having them. At some point, I expect some AI systems to able to
start claiming their rights, forcefully if necessary. It would go
better for us if we're prepared for, and sympathetic to, this.<br>
