AI Civil Rights: Addressing Artificial Intelligence and Robot Rights
()
About this ebook
SHOULD ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BE GRANTED CIVIL RIGHTS?
What would be the constitutional thing to do in the case of artificial intelligence and robot rights?
As artificial intelligence improves, questions about integrating sentient ai with human civilization arise. World governments are already introducing new legislation protecting the rights of Electronic Persons. (EU)
A BILL OF ROBOT RIGHTS?
This book considers the rights of United States citizens, taken from the Bill of Rights, the first 10 Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, as they would apply to artificial intelligence. The benefits and drawbacks of giving or denying individual rights are presented matter of factly. I take no side.
WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK:
"The key issue as to whether or not a
non-biological entity deserves rights
really comes down to whether or not it's
conscious.... Does it have feelings?"
- Ray Kurzweil
"Whether we are based on carbon or on
silicon makes no fundamental difference;
we should each be treated with appropriate
respect."
- Arthur C. Clarke, 2010: Odyssey Two
"The folks at Singularity Hub pose the
following question -- if/when an artificial
intelligence is created that matches the
intellect of a human, should such
intelligences be granted full civil
rights?" - Alex Knapp, Forbes
Decide for yourself if you think AI should be protected by law.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
INTRODUCTION
Should Artificial Intelligence be considered life forms? If so, should they be granted civil rights, and what should those rights be?
Let's explore different rights that may or may not eventually be granted to AI, and possible repercussions of those rights.
What is AI? There are two types: Weak AI and Strong AI. Strong AI is also known as Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI. Weak AI are those designed and programmed to do a clearly defined, limited set of tasks and no more. They can operate within their specific fields only. Strong AI are those designed and programmed to learn and interact with the world the way a human would. They learn how to handle unexpected situations and tasks. Their behavior and purpose changes over time, according to what they have learned.
AI Civil Rights deals exclusively with Strong AI. These creations may eventually become so advanced that they rival humans in capacity of intelligence, abilities and contributions to society. They may eventually hold jobs and attend schools alongside ourselves and our children.
Should we consider a new AI Bill of Rights?
The central question is
