Saudi Arabia grants citizen rights to a robot

Meanwhile, Russia is working on the AI rights legal framework.

I consider human rights for animals or AIs when they all by themselves and without further explanation and programming by humans they form ideas about rights, and legal versus illegal, and just versus injust, and demand from humans such rights for themselves.

Until then, AI rights activists (as well as PETA, for that matter) have no valid argument. There is no point in talkign with a machine. You talk ABOUT a machine, maybe, but not with it.

Else autonomously driving cars one day will start suing human passangers for beign offensive, and web-connected refrigerators will sue their owners for exploiting their cooling engine without paying them an adequate fee.

The only legal framework needed is a law code regulating what owners of machines can do with them and who is responsible for the consequences of machine's actions. Usually that will be and must be the owner, of course.

Not the machine.

That is why there is a push for AI specific legislation, to preclude non sentient AIs from gaining rights.

If so, Russia acts clever there. Saudi Arabia however is about citizen rights for robots. Thats is something different.

Will this include female robots and if so, will they enjoy equality with male robots?
