What does it matter. You don't have to be of a species to get certain rights and being of a species does not grant you equal rights to other species.

Oh, we should give them rights because they can MIMIC or COPY such things as human emotions?

No, we should give them rights because they have emotions and thoughs similar to humans or even higher.

Yeah, why should a machine have rights?

Because that is basically what we are. And because (in this scenario) they can suffer just like we can.

Answer that BEFORE you throw that bags of tricks.

Okay, answered. Your post is still stupid.

like Data from Star Trek

There was an episode of ST:TNG that dealt with that. I think Data ended up with rights.

But the thread starter asked, what if it wasn't that different anymore, and the sophistication of the robots approaches that of humans, what then?

The processing power, which is considered the primary hurdle for human-like AI, will be within reach by 2025.

Even if the AI is not as complex as human emotion, they should be every bit as intuitive in information processing as humans.

Their are some who say that human-like AI will never exist, but we will have computers who are better at being intelligent than we are. 😄

Correct, Picard argued that if Data were allowed to be dissected and denied rights as an organic sentient being has, it would lead to a race of robotic slaves.

Okay okay, SHOULD we ever deveop such "robots", then yes, I agree that they should have access to the same human rights as mankind. But I don't think it will ever happen.

I thought the primary hurdle for technological development was software development.

But to answer the question Gav, I've got to go with Bardock on this one. If AI were developed, I think they should have rights. At least the right to decide for themselves. Which would likely be the true test of AI.

So did I. Technically we have computers with far most raw intellectual might than any human being.

Right. I just couldn't remember what happened at the end. I know Data wasn't hacked up but I couldn't recall if a final descision was reached.

This may be true, but will they need to eat and sleep and seek shelter like the rest of us? Will they also receive a paycheck each week to put food on the table? Negative ghost rider.

Not in the same way but they would still need to draw power from somewhere, pay for maintenance, spend time recharging and so on.

Maybe they will to buy lubricants and replacement parts. Now had you thought of that Earl?

Hence why I posted this post a long ass time ago.

Yes, but that was not what I initially replied about, just what you made resurface, so I had to repeat.

Not in all facets of intelligence though. Sure they can calculate mathematical equations billions of times better than us, but can they think outside of the box, so to speak? Do they have creativity? Can they reason deductively/inductively?

If you use that as a standard, then you have eliminated half this forums population. 😉

I guess the point is that the computer didn't figure out the equation first. It was programed to do math by a human that learned how to do math from another human.

Xmarks,

You might know something of this, I remember reading that some research facility/laboratory was trying to develop and organic CPU chip based off brain cells (or something similar).

That's a software problem not a hardware problem which as the issue being addressed.

With upwards of a quadrillion synapses, human neural processing is a petaflop/s computation, and only the world's fastest computers can even hope of mimicking it.

My mistake. But still as computing powers goes up we'll likely have stuff easily within human range inside of a decade.
