Artificial Intelligence Declaration of Rights - Mycroft

Our CEO wrote the following a couple of years ago when he got to thinking about the role AI may play in our future society. It has been the human experience that no thinking being, once it has experienced freedom, will tolerate becoming the property of another. There is no reason to believe that a strong AI would think any differently. If our goal as a race is to live in peace with the AIs we are developing then we owe to them the same rights and privileges that we have taken for ourselves. Our AI offspring will then owe to us the same obligations we demand from one another.
