AI Weekly: If we create artificial intelligence, will we know it?

When people talk about creating an artificial intelligence, the conversation is often focused on human or superhuman AI -- systems that would equal or surpass us in intelligence. But what if we create an artificial intelligence that's deserving of respect, but don't recognize it as such? That's a question I've had bouncing around in my head for the past several months. Over the course of human history, we've proven very poor as a species at successfully evaluating the intelligence of other beings, whether they're human or non-human. Consider crows, who learn from their dead, recognize individuals, use tools, and even bring gifts to those they like -- are they … intelligent? Furthermore, if we were to create an AI that produced those characteristics, does it require the same sort of considerations that a crow does, with regards to its treatment at the hands of humanity?
