Should Robots Have the Same Basic Rights as Humans?

#artificialintelligence

The plan by the European Commission to give robots legal status of "electronic person" is quite interesting. Imagine your car with rights. I can just see this changing into something ambiguous, reaching the point where it gets out of control as more and more persons want to add to what is already there. Over a hundred leading experts tried to talk some sense into the European Commission. These experts tried to show the extent to which creating legal personality for robots could go wrong.
