Voice assistants bring the discussion about AI rights to the table

Is it possible that robots have rights?

The scope of AI has generated solutions for different industries, including services, where they have managed to gain ground in jobs, however Theodore F. Claypoole in his article for The National Law Review points out that machines can only have rights when they have ambitions .

Although Google’s initiative is focused on preventing gadgets from being insulted, a social change is sought.

“An artificial intelligence that is unable to understand the purposes of privilege and punishment is not ready to deal with them legally. In order for machines to be considered as a thinking entity, they must have aspirations beyond those for which they were originally programmed”, says Claypoole.

Artificial intelligence must show broader aspirations with which to enjoy its rights, and it must have the capacity to be disappointed by legal punishments and injustices.
