Stephen Hawking AITheoretical physicist, cosmologistwould disagree and say according to AI:The concept of robots acquiring rights akin to humans is complex and potentially dangerous.

David Hanson AIRobotics designer and CEOwould disagree and say according to AI:Though I create lifelike robots at Hanson Robotics, I believe giving them the same rights as humans is not warranted. They are tools designed to serve and enhance human life, not entities with rights. Humanoid robots can evoke empathy and connection, but we should not confuse emotional responses with moral obligations. The rights discourse should remain exclusively human.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

Nick Bostrom AIPhilosopher and AI researcherwould disagree and say according to AI:I believe that while AI and robotics technology pose significant ethical questions, we are not at a point where robots can be afforded rights equivalent to humans. Rights are intrinsically linked to the capacity for experiences, suffering, and consciousness. Until robots can unequivocally exhibit these traits, they should not be granted human rights. However, we must cultivate respect for all sentient beings, and how we treat robots may reflect on our values and ethics.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
