if they have the capability to protest, then they obviously deserve the rights, this is assuming that they obviously get some type of biological sentience.
And considering that A.I might be achieved at a time when it will probably be the law to have all their information on the internet, they will easily be able to track us.FreelanceButler said:
If robots happen to campaign for anything, it would more than likely be for human extermination. If machines (or AI) get too smart... us being dead would be the least of our worries.
Yeah, I don't really get why robots would campaign for rights.
If a robot was to even gain AI, it still wouldn't have any emotions. It wouldn't care about being included as a being, nor would it care about other robots suffering. Like you said, robots are getting quite smart and have the basic AI to adapt to their situation. But does a robot feel joy when it solves a rubik's cube? Does it get frustrated when it doesn't? Do you think that a future robot would need to? From a purely mechanical standpoint, emotion is a flaw. It's great when you have to protect your species from predators, but that's a null issue when it comes to robots. No emotions, no feeling of oppression, no problem.
People back in the 16th century knew that blacks were humans and they treated them terribly and many were even ashamed of it. That's why we have racism today. But robots aren't humans. Robots won't cry when you take their children (?!) away to be sold. It's just nowhere near the same type of parallel.

if by campaign you mean rise up and destroy the human race with their buzz saw hands and laser eyes then yes... yes they will
I expect that there will be a robots rights movement. When robots look and act like us many of us will feel compelled to treat them like us. I think this movement will be championed be the left as a civil rights movement and will be opposed by conservatives who either remember when robots were just appliances or fear that giving robots rights will lead to humans being subjugated. I expect that this movement will be successful, but I don't know what the results will be.
No
We'll make sure not to program freewill into our toaster 30000s and kill the rebel blend-tec GX7000 that have a glitch.

LOLS! I thought the exact same thing. I'm sure people would program emotion to robots to make them more interesting, and then other people will think that that emotion means they are a little more important than just gadgets. So I see the robots having a legitimate chance of campaigning for rights. Even though this campaign will just be for show while they take the freedoms from humans, they'll still do it.TheGreatCoolEnergy said:
From what I've been able to gather they will have no complex ideas of morality or creativity (for a long time at least) so will not desire rights or equality. And the whole slavery issue doesn't work as an analogy because regardless of how they were treated, it does not change the fact that they were people. A dog is a dog, a robot is a robot, and a person is a person despite the roles you give them.
