re: #119 Timothy Watson

Asimov did a good job delving into the consequences of developing robots with AI abilities. If in fact we could develop such machines, would they be eligible for citizenship? Would assembly and boot up within the USA qualify them as being born in the USA? And if so, could they run for office?

Given the right wing’s reaction to a human guy with a Kenyan father and a childhood spent partly in Indonesia, one can only imagine their reaction to a humanoid robot running for office.
