"They might demand not to be turned off, reformatted or deleted; beg to be allowed to do certain tasks rather than others; insist on rights, freedom and new powers; perhaps even expect to be treated as our equals."'[URL unfurl="true"]https://futurism.com/conscious-ai-personhood-rights[/URL]</blockquote>
