re: #123 wheat-dogghazi-mailgate

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.

We seem to be about to give AIs driver’s licenses:

U.S. regulator: A Google computer could qualify as car driver

Should autonomous vehicles be restricted by Asimov’s 3 laws?
