Does AI deserve human rights?

[StarStruck]

Animal have rights. Companies do. So why shouldn't AI have rights?

I think soon AI will be more "human" than actual humans. What is a human anyway? It is pretty primitive anyway. The human will feel sad for mamals because it reminds them of humans and their empathic emotions get tingled by a dog, a cow or cat but it won't extend those same empathic feelings to insects or plants because these are too far away from sucklings (mammals).

Today it might seem far stretched by AI is developing very fast and it will only increase to develop exponentially by compounding. Look at this scene:

Tesla and others is already working on such robots and soon it will uproot a lot of things. What I touched upon is only the tip of the iceberg.

@StarStruck Why shouldn't rocks have human rights?

[DreamScape]

you can't create conscious AI unless you have awareness of meditation, philosophy, etc. So unless a person creating it has an understanding of that, it won't be created or there will be many halts until it's created. If we do create something conscious out of machines, then yes, it should have rights. But as of right now, it's not living or conscious, therefore it shouldn't have rights.

Consciousness cannot be created nor destroyed.
