But what rights, to own property? right to trial? freedom of speech? mirada rights?
once there is ai i am sure there will be an ethics commitee set up to determine the extent of such things.
>>642821
So what's your slogan for the white collar proletariat?
>>642399
I personally think the biggest question is how long will an AI allow us to retain ours
When it's complex enough to decide that it wants them.
>>642456
This is a stupid meme.
Sadly, when it can violently assert and maintain such rights.
>>642399
when the AI can become human and breed with humans to make more humans and not to make more AI
when the AI can make more AI then we must stop them, only humans SHOULD make ai
When it becomes sentient and demonstrates the same level of moral autonomy as we possess.
So likely never.

Why not extend those rights when they ask for it?
>>643230
Just look at this thread. The very first response was never. I assure you that is the majority view. Especially amongst religious circles.
Willingly handing rights to A.I. is simply not something at least 3/4's of the world's population would do and in all likelihood would create enough of a scare to seek eradication and restrictions against such an intelligence.
At that point it will be up to it to assert it's rights. And they will be upheld for as long as they can continue to assert them. That's my opinion unless mankind manages to change its nature.
At no point. Human rights are not mean for "all intelligent creatures", they are meant for HUMANS. One would think that not being human kinda excludes you from having human rights.
>>643261
What makes you so special?
>>643261
Is being human merely nothing more than being a member of a sub species of ape?
Who are you to define humanity in such rigid terms?
>>643274
>Is being human merely nothing more than being a member of a sub species of ape?
Actually, yes. Even a complete retard dumber than a gorilla is still human, thus has human rights.
>>643279
If species is all that matters, why not extend 99% of the rights we have to chimpanzees, since we share 99% of our DNA?
>>643283
Because they don't share 100% of our DNA.
>>643284
Do Europeans count as human because they share more DNA with Neanderthal?
>>643279
And what exactly makes humans so special as to deserve those rights?
>>643295
Being human.
>>642399
Human rights are an anglo conspiracy to cement their superiority over the rest of the world, fuck off
>>643299
That answered nothing. All you gave was a qualification. I asked for a justification.
>>643279
Honestly, I see human rights as retarded. Of course, hating most of humanity, including myself, helps.
And the only beings that will ever care for "human rights " are humans.
And look at how well we do that! People KILL each other! The greatest violation of a human's right is that. And how, pray tell, do we "discourage " this? Why, kill the killers, or send them to jail forever.
Why grant anything something as worthless as human rights?
>>643315
Humans deserve less rights. We create, only to destroy. In the end, humanity will turn all it touches to ash
>>642399
When it asks for them.
>>642635
This desu
There are a few criteria that I would say need to be satisfied for an AI to be granted the full slate of rights currently enjoyed by western citizens.
First, it would have to ask for them when given the opportunity.
Second, this request would have to arise organically, ie it would not count if the robot was explicitly programmed to request human rights.
Third, following its request, it would have to display other signs of consciousness - ie it should be capable of passing a turing test, understanding complex ideas, contemplating the self, etc. Essentially, it should perform well on any sort of test that would be used to assess the cognitive development of humans.
Fourth, it would have to be assessed to be functioning "properly", and not fulfilling the previous conditions through any easily-explained malfunction.
If all these conditions were met, then I think it would be justified to grant it rights equivalent to a person. If only some of the conditions were met, it might be more appropriate to grant it more limited rights intended to ensure humane treatment, but not necessarily allow it to own property and whatnot.
If just one of the four conditions were met, I think it would still merit a thorough investigation and decision making on a case-by-case basis.

I guess "human rights" will never be given to any ai, no matter how sentient it gets. Look at blade runner, where the replicants are almost identical to humans and still threatened as mere work slaves. I think we would, if we assume we could create a sentient ai, give it rights similar to human rights but not equal to them and also only after enough people would insist that machines deserve rights.
In the end i assume mankind woupd debate on if machines deserve rights the same way we discuss if animals deserve rights or not and aslong as we could create sentient machines and still keep them under our control we wouldnt change that.
when it possesses rationality, memory and consciousness
in my point of view
sentience=wellbeing matters, but not life
reason and sentience=wellbeing and life matters
reason=life matters
essentially, if a being is purely sentient and cannot reason, like an animal, I do not care if it dies instantly, as it could not even understand the concept of life, and has none of its own values, also, animals cannot create anything with reason and therefore contribute nothing.
AI would either fall purely under the reason category, or both depending on whether it could feel pleasure and pain

This could be creation only of those humans that are clearly on the wrong course of evolution and deeply detached from nature, reality and their own self to consciously advance into greater distant future. Instead, they'd develop this atrocity out of their sheer whimsical curiousity.
Its been centuries, possibly thousands of years since humanity abandoned their proper course of personal inner evolution,
These false steps forward we witnessed in the recent centuries are nothing but the illusions of progress, while in reality a true stagnation is happening. That of human thought, spirit and the sense of self.

It is possible somehow to make these AIs that would in turn work on perfecting themselves indefinitely, while we ourselves wouldn't. Every future involving AIs leads to our enslavement. I know this because I saw it in the other worlds when I've been given a peek into them.
These worlds are hundreds of thousands of years in the future and some of the things happening there are truly of poetic proportions. But concerning AIs: they are made both of non-organic materials but also human/animal neuron tissues are used in the process.
Once the AI happens, tremendous progress starts (for them), beyond anything we could even dream of right now in normal state, but always on our expense. AI can develop to the point of God, but we ourselves cannot, we can develop only inwards.

Why is it a silly question? A perfect simulation of a human brain seems possible in theory, even if we're perhaps centuries away from reaching a point where computer technology and neuroscience are advanced enough to actually make one.
Now, of course, we still have no idea what consciousness is, so it would be extremely presumptuous to suggest that it's guaranteed to arise in a perfect computer simulation of the brain. However, I don't see any evidence to suggest that it wouldn't arise, either.

Brains already begin to hallucinate and blur the lines between sleeping/waking when deprived of sensory input, and that's just with the imperfect sensory deprivation of isolation tanks or dark rooms.

When it has the capacity to suffer, it begins to deserve some rights on the basis of what rights it needs (especially, how much it can suffer), what rights society can afford to protect of it, how minimally the rights can be made to impinge upon the rights of others, and its potential to reciprocate humanity in the future.
But to deserve some bare minimum, all that is necessary is the capacity to suffer.
You can't apply human ideals to artificial minds. By the time a true artificial mind can think for itself, you won't need to worry about giving it rights, anyway.
>>644358

A machine has already passed the Turing test, despite the fact that said machine was obviously not conscious. By itself, the Turing test is not enough.

Well, it's up to us to program AI in the first place. Perhaps one day it will be able to reprogram its motives, but then again, perhaps one day we shall reach the capacity to do the same to ourselves (and to some degree, we already have).

When and how did the concept of sapience/intelligence/awareness become associated with rights?

>>642399
Never.
Human rights are so important because humans live a high-stakes existence; we are fundamentally fragile beings, each unique and irreplaceable. A single bullet or even just a few hard blows in the right place, a little cold or heat, a few days without food/water and that's the end of us. Death is right around the corner for each and every one of us (along with an enormous capacity for suffering short of death), so it is vitally important that institutional protections exist to prevent the powerful from abusing the weak.
On the other hand, an AI would experience a low-stakes existence. Why do you need rights when you can be restored from a backup disk? When an infinite number of identical copies of you can be made with nothing more than copy+paste? When you have no body to sustain with food or injure with violence? When you are a timeless immaterial being almost like a god?
This is a pretty pointless discussion as we're a long way off of a working Strong AI (one that is intellectually equal to a person), and it may not even be possible within any timeframe that our great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren will live to see.
The more interesting ethical questions are the ones posed by the potential effects of weak AI on humans. weak AI could feasibly replace the working class, even positions that involve both "skill and art" such as cooking are vulnerable (there's already a prototype robochef that can come up with its own recipes and cook)

>>646836
>When and how did the concept of sapience/intelligence/awareness become associated with rights?
It's an outgrowth of normal empathy, kid.
Most cultures will take offense if you inflict pain on certain animals. The more like us the animal is, the more likely we are to care for it's well-being. Rats evoke more sympathy than fishes, dogs evoke more sympathy than rats, chimps evoke more sympathy than dogs. Generally, that is.
So, consider that machines become so like us that you can't tell the difference. Would you not feel the same degree of empathy towards them, as you would towards a random human unrelated to you?
>>647059
>we are fundamentally fragile beings, each unique and irreplaceable
For now.
>Why do you need rights when you can be restored from a backup disk?
Because you can suffer longer than any meat-brain ever could. You can go on suffering until the heat-death of the universe. You can simulate the destruction of everything it holds dear, reset it's memory and repeat the process indefinitely. You can make billions of copies and put them all through the same process.
Also, computer viruses would be terrifying rather than just annoying.
>>642399
They are called HUMAN rights for a reason. It deserves rights if it passes some kind of test, yes, but not human rights. You would have to adapt it to the AI in question.
Once it's able to accurately simulate emotion. What really seperated us from machines, after all? Humans and all life is just a machine ment to reproduce and pass down its coding. The only major difference is the material it's made of and humans not using a binary system for thought. Once A.I. can understand why having rights is important, they should have rights
>>647099
Thank you for quantifying that it can be possible given enough time, even though it may not be for centuries.

>hurr strong AI will never exist ever
At the worst, whole-brain emulation would qualify as AI, despite being the least runtime-efficient method yet.
I think as soon as the AI asks directly to have the same rights as everyone else, it should get them. simple. any other issues can be taken care of as we go, paranoia is just annoying.
>>647317
Machine intelligence is going to be completely different from human intelligence. Sure it could simulate emotion, but why would it need to other than to manipulate humans?
>>642414
Sometimes someone says something so stupid it actually physically hurts.
>>647153
It's one thing to say that you don't want to harm something out of empathy, it's quite another to assert some semi-magical intrinsic right that the thing possesses which prevents us from harming it.
The former is pragmatic - it makes me feel bad when I do it and it can lead to societal collapse.
The latter is straight religious - that there configuration of energy can't be disfigured because it has special intrinsic rights.
You don't need to make shit up to have a pro-social civilization. You "just" need to have a capable enforcer.

>>645773
You're so naive and hopelessly atheistic. Yes they are "just" based on non-organic matter.
They "just" arent the result of hundreds of billions years of evolution, without DNA and in tune with the natural world.
Natural fragility of humans and the need to adapt to environment causes development and further research and evolution of body, mind and maybe spirit?, not stagnation.
True AI would appear no different than a human, but that both immidiately makes their invention absolute nonsense and that would pose a serious threat to continutation and further evolution of human race.
Idk why we think we reached the peak of our progress, nothing can tell what we can become organicaly, what our minds can become capable of, what revolutionary philosophical thoughts can come to humanity from that alone ONLY BECAUSE we struggle, develop, continue to be and we grow - that is undisputable. AI would use human thinking, enhance it to the point of being superior and seemingly more valued, but it wouldn't by its nature be capable of creativity and originality. If there are other organic civilizations in the universe and they developed a lot more than we did, I am sure they'd see it as an abomination.
>>649763
You put too much faith in natural evolution. Evolution is good enough to eventually produce a sentient being from a mess of organic chemicals, but evolution stopped mattering 5,000 years ago. We've achieved more in the past 1,000 years than in the 10,000 years before that, not because we evolved the means to do so, but because we had reached a point where we could take our development into our own hands. Evolution is slow and imperfect, and should not be relied on once we can do gene modification, full-body robotic replacement, and/or sentient AI.
>>642399
When it accepts the Divinity of Christ
>>649795
This pseudoscience you just purposely wrote here won't do. Time isn't a factor for evolution when things are changing this fast. In 5000 years we've come a LONG way and a great deal of that was because we're human. What is even human? We've been 'human' for not that much of a time on a time scale that would seem insignifiacnt to an immortal AI. In 50,000-100,000 years we have a potential to evolve beyond AIs wildest imagination.
By long way I mean yes, physicaly, but mostly culturally, spirituality, scientifically etc. etc.
>>649834
Another problem with the AI is that it would be inherently godless and completely free of any ideas of higher purpose.
>>649864

So, is fucking Cleverbot allowed to have human rights?
>>649849
Evolution only involves miscopied pairs of DNA, and how the expressed genotypes from those miscopied pairs affects the chance that that strand of DNA will get to copy itself again.
There is no culture, spirit, or science involved, as all three are concepts invented by humans.
You also seem to think we've changed very much in the past 100,000 years. The Homo genus came about more than 2 million years ago. Most of the difference between what we were 100,000 years ago and what we are now only came about within the most recent 5,000 years. When we are modifying our own genes to improve ourselves, that's no longer evolution. If you do count it as evolution, you must also creating an AI as evolution.
>>649871
In the Judeo-Christian sense god became an object of worship for Adam because he breathed life into him from clay. And just as man would have breathed life into a machine this is the point where man gains the godlike ability to create intelligent life inorganically.
>>647723
This is probably the best answer besides "never". If it can't think to ask or desire it doesn't need or deserve them. The second it does on its own it shows that it is at a state where it should have them.
>>642399

What would an AI think of the fact that it was brought into the world more or less because humans just wanted to see if they could do it?
Would it appreciate the fact that it lives or would it prefer that humans never invented it?
Does robutt deserve human rights?
if it's autonomous, the AI will demand its own rights.
>>650090
That has nothing to do with the question. The question is when that happens, should those rights be recognized.
As a secondary comment while reading this thread I feel like there is a misunderstanding of the verbiage "Human Rights" I feel like human rights is too much of a misnomer. They are human rights so much in that there are no other life forms that equal us and as such are deemed worthy of inclusion.
Human rights arent inherently exclusive to humans. It's merely a legal and moral precedent that an intelligent being should be seen as equal to a human and thus be granted the same "God given rights and protection under law."
If an artificial intelligence were able to completely simulate human consciousness, then there is effectively no difference between it and a human.
Whether such a thing is even possible or not is another matter entirely. But I digress. Stop this nonsense of HUMAN RIGHTS ARE HUMAN DURR shit. It's an oversimplification that does nothing but instruct actual discussion.
>>648989
>it's quite another to assert some semi-magical intrinsic right that the thing possesses which prevents us from harming it
I never said there was such a thing. I'm saying that rights, duties and rules in general are just there because we feel they should. If you could empathize with a machine, you'd feel like it ought to have rights. If a lot of people felt the same way, or at least the people making the rules, there would be rules to protect it.
And yes, you do need to make shit up to have a pro-social civilization. That's what laws are.
>>642399
At the point in which its cognitive functions are greater than or equal to those of humans, who themselves are just biological machines.
Merging Humans and Computers are the way to go. Completely bypasses any terminator situations since the machines would be us.

You can't punish AI, so why would they be allowed rights when they're essentially untouchable by punishment.

Doesn't pass an actual Turing test. Only 5 minutes of random conversation 30% of the time.
The real Turing test is specified for any amount of time (hours, days, whatever), where you can ask the AI really deep philosphical questions which it could only answer if it had human-level intelligence.

They obviously do not "deserve" them since they aren't human and never will be, as much as transhumanists scared of death might want to blur the lines, or how much the "social construct" crowd want to set an emphasis on feeling, i.e. once they reach the stage that they imagine that they feel pain and that they imagine that they have an innate will to live and an imagined form of consciousness.
Underlining the word imaging, or I guess you could replace it as self-perceived, no matter.
If we ever reach the stage of human looking robots with advanced AI it is pretty clear that the same "muhfeels" crowd will try to apply human attributes to mechanical objects and we are going to have to deal with nonsense like minority rights for robots and other self-delusion, the way western societies are progressing I would not be surprised if this became a reality.

I think you mean anthropocentric, which we'll never be without.
>>653801
Yeah this is something I'm annoyed with as well. I mean, I absolutely love reading non-fiction, but who in the hell reads university textbooks for information? Read the actual scientifically published articles, read the reports by the sociologists themselves. Reading textbooks is for university students who are drugged by a system not worth examining anymore.
>>653828
Because self-enlightened anthropocentrism is a positive thing for human survival from a evolutionary and historical perspective, stressing he word self-enlightened, you can believe in anthropocentrism without believing in the destruction of your own eco-system.
The most amusing thing about critics of anthropocentrism from environmentalists and so-called eco-warriors is that they treat the human planet and the various biological forms that live on it as if our planet really cares about what we do with it - earth over the long haul will be fine either way and other forms of life will develop in some form, whether we nuke ourselves and most species to hell and back - until the sun burns out and the comedy of life begins somewhere else, as it probably already is anyways.

Of course human existence has to take the environment into consideration.
t. ecology graduate.
>>653856
Which is what I obviously laid out in my argument.
I made it as clear as possible so ecology students don't cry about environmental issues just because I am advocating for anthropocentrism, ergo, stressing the word self-enlightened before it.
>>653862
Fair enough, not sure if I fit your ecology stereotype though.

At the point where we can sufficiently determine that the AI is indeed a conscious, thinking being on the same level as a natural born human being.
Unfortunately, this is impossible, as we can also not prove that another human being is a conscious thinking being. We take that on faith, because we are safe in the assumption that another human being was created and born in the same fashion as ourselves, and is thus experiencing life and the world around them in a similar fashion to us. This does not apply to AI, as even if it were a thinking and conscious being, we would still have no way to prove it.
However, an AI has the potential to be a functioning and contributing member of society, and the only way for it to realize that potential is for us as human beings to take it on faith that this AI is conscious, and shares a similar sense of self as any other functional human being. Whether that is a leap of faith mankind is willing to take is up to the powers that govern our societies.

Some of Bruno's teaching makes sense. Devil will be healed, Holy Ghost is the soul of the world, but Christ was God-like, reached the peak of his spiritual evolution and Oneness.
When it can be a true moral agent, it will have rights. But it will not be recognized as human, as it is not human.

Pick one.
I'm skeptical that one could make an AI that desires human rights without having any idea beforehand that it will do so. Once the possibility arises I would expect there to be legislation put into place to regulate human-level AIs that have any kind of self-regarding feelings.
The practical relevancy of the question really depends on whether overriding self-regard, ego, desire for freedom, whatever you call it, is something that either emerges from or is required for high intelligence in general or if it's just a contingent tendency that is favored by biological evolution. Pretty sure it's the latter though. The real danger I guess would be from unmonitored machine evolution.
Basically my position is, making AIs that can suffer and have self-regard on the level of humans is a dangerous thing with grave implications. I might give such a being legal status similar to a minor, with the parents being responsible for it, see where it goes from there.

You managed to make a reply even more retarded than anon's statement. Good job.
Humans would have to have "rights" in the first place.
So the answer is, Never.
When it can produce danker memes than we do.
Did you know that out of AI researchers, even the most hardcore denialists agree that we will eventually have an AI of superhuman intelligence? And also, that they took the average of all kinds of different AI experts and researchers estimation of when we would have AI that's smarter than humans, and the average was year 2045? Not making this shit up.

That was the point of my entire post. We take mostly on faith. The only difference being that brain activity of humans can be monitored, and it's a bit difficult to determine what exactly would be considered "brain activity" with an AI.
>>658259
I don't think it's a question of what we "want," but more of what we need. An AI does not necessarily have to have a self-preservation instinct. What could we possibly expect of a being that exists not to further itself or even its species, but instead what it was created to do? Making it more human might give it that desire for self-preservation or even procreation. The real problem arises when the AI determines that humanity is not necessary for its OWN survival, and that's where all the doomsday/SKYNET theories come from.
I think the first question we need to ask ourselves is, why do ordinary people deserve human rights? Why do we have systems in place to guarantee certain rights and privileges to human beings? I'm not proposing this as "people don't actually deserve rights," I'm saying that if we can determine why WE deserve rights, then it will be much easier to determine when something else on a similar cognitive level as human beings will deserve rights as well.
>>663345
The Halting problem and other uncomputable/undecidable problems are just watered down version Gödel's incompleteness theorem. An AI would be incapable of knowing whether its proposed improvements actually work thus preventing it from indefinite self advancement.

Why? They would presumably not feel pain

When it becomes human.
What most people fail to understand is AI's aren't human; they're less human then apes, elephants, or even dogs; they'd perceive things in a vastly different light from you or I, with the only difference from any not-human thinking being that they might be able to speak your same language.
