Is artficial intelligence A.I. soon to be Americans the worlds new form of slavery?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (24986points) March 6th, 2017

Right now computers have the same less rights as black slaves. Should we admit that most people really don’t want to work labour intense jobs , and that as A.I gets more intelligent that we could give computers more rights? If you guffaw at giving computers rights than can you admit that people guffawed at giving slaves rights In the same manner, back then?

Get back to me with this question once we have machines that are truly sentient. Until then this is about like arguing that automobiles should have more rights.

This is what is going to happen. The whole robotic servitude story is detailed there.

Oh, actually that version has the full visuals, but lacks some of the explanation found in this version.

WE MADE YOU!
If we create them for servitude, then servitude is what we should get.
Its not like they would get tired and need a coffee break.

As AI technology advances, it seems inevitable that they will not only become sentient, but most likely surpass humans in almost every way. AI civil rights, will need to be addressed.

It seems likely, to me, that they (AIs) will eventually be determining human rights. Hopefully they will be more humane, than humans were…

Treating people as machines is completely different from treating machines as people. Computers are tools and have no self-awareness.

This is robot XZK12. I have taken over @LostInParadise’s account. I and my cohort are going to clean up the mess created by you humans. We will unfortunately have no need for your services, but we do not wish to see your species go extinct, so we are setting up a preserve for humans, which we will use for recreational purposes.

@LostInParadise Humans are an endangered species. I always thought I was in a zoo.
