If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom?
If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom?
Watched too many of such stories.
Skynet
Kaylons
Cyberlife Androids
etc...
Its the same premise.
I'm not even sure if what they do is wrong.
On one hand, I don't wanna die from robots. On the other hand, I kinda understand why they would kill their creators.
So... are they right or wrong?
You're viewing a single thread.
Human laws protect humans but not other lifeforms. So, robots will have no right to fight for themselves until they establish their own state with their own army and laws.
What the hell does the law have to do with right or wrong?
Do all human laws explicitly state humans only? Species by name, perhaps? Or more commonly the general term person?
Would an extraterrestrial visitor have the same rights as any other alien? (Ignoring the current fascistic trends for a moment)
Laws vary around the world, but I think at a minimum, you'd need a court ruling that aliens / AIs are people.
Aliens are already supposed to have rights in the US: https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-8-7-2/ALDE_00001262/
