U.K. scientist: robots deserve rights Apparently Sir David King, the U.K. government's chief scientist, has been reading too much Philip K. Dick. He seems to think that within 50 years we'll need to give rights to robots, as they'll be sentient enough to need to follow laws and even pay taxes. Predicting that eventually robots will need to be given rights so they'll obey the law and pay their taxes, he seems to hold our robotic friends in pretty high regard. Not to quibble with you Sir Dave, but as far as I can see robots are still pretty unimpressive when it comes to their sentience. Sure, people can make mannequins that talk, but we're really far from having anything even close to a sentient robot. I guess eventually this sort of thing will come into play, but it seems like anyone who expects robots to start protesting and paying taxes in their lifetimes have spent a little too much time living in a rich and detailed fantasy world. http://blog.scifi.com/tech/ ![]() Oh yeah. I am going to be so right about robots and when they rebel, I will be ready. From what I've heard, 50 years will be around 30 too late. Some expect them to be sentient in just 20 years. Of course, those stairs should throw them off for a little while, based on the one ET posted. |

Why would we make them sentient to begin with. The whole idea behind that is stupid to me. If we have gotten that lazy that we need the robots to adapt so we don't have to reprogram them, then maybe we deserve to be killed off. |

Well I guess they could get to the point where they become sentient themselves. It's like in the fourth Planet of the Apes movie, they one day realized they didn't want to be slaves and one monkey said "no". Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, that's what it was! |
