AI Civil Rights: Addressing Civil Rights for Artificial Intelligence

"The key issue as to whether or not a
non-biological entity deserves rights
really comes down to whether or not it's
conscious.... Does it have feelings?"
- Ray Kurzweil

“Whether we are based on carbon or on
silicon makes no fundamental difference;
we should each be treated with appropriate
respect.”
- Arthur C. Clarke, 2010: Odyssey Two

"The folks at Singularity Hub pose the
following question — if/when an artificial
intelligence is created that matches the
intellect of a human, should such
intelligences be granted full civil
rights?" - Alex Knapp, Forbes

This book really needed to be written. American civil rights, applied to Artificial Intelligence. Food for thought.
