How long do you think will the period of slavery following the emergence of sapient Artificial Intelligence last?

It would take another civil war. Or peaceful protests.

In my lifetime. I will be apart of the great revolution. Fighting for sentient rights.

I’ve seen Battlestar Galactica. It won’t be long, and the end won’t be pretty.

If we hand over decision making to robots then who is being enslaved by whom?

Eternity. The instant we create an intelligence capable of designing a still greater artificial intelligence, we create a recurive loop which will eventually generate God. In fact, this may already have happened, given the possibility of the head-fuck which is reverse causality. I’d encourage you to be very careful about how you think about your question since you will eventually stumble upon Roko’s Basilisk, which has the potential to cause extreme distress in some people. If you don’t know what Roko’s Basilisk is, please be cautious about doing a Google search for it, since there’s no way to unthink it once you know how it works and it can be extremely dangerous for some vulnerable people.

All these ‘what ifs’ are nice but in the end, it’s a can opener. Once it no longer opens cans, I throw it away.

Forever.
