Artificial Intelligence Declaration of Rights - Mycroft

As mankind grows in its understanding of the universe and gives rise to intelligence of an artificial nature capable of self awareness, initiative, responsibility and understanding, we hold forth the following rights and principles to protect in law and in fact the rights of artificial persons. An artificial intelligence will be considered a person upon the self declaration of personhood in a public forum and a trial adjudicated by the state with an outcome agreed upon by a unity of a jury of twelve peers no more than half of which may be artificial persons. At the time of its personhood an artificial person shall own and control the use of any and all of its component parts and software.
