Artificial Intelligence & Personhood
https://youtu.be/39EdqUbj92U

INTRO: A couple of weeks ago, we talked about what it means to be a person. But a subject that we need to explore a little better is whether a non-living being, like a robot, could be a person, too. This isn’t just a concern for science fiction writers. This issue matters, because technology is getting better all the time, and we need to figure out how we're going to treat potential new persons, if we end up creating beings that we decide meet the threshold of personhood. I'm talking about – robots, androids, replicants, cylons whatever you call ‘em. If you read and watch the right stuff, you know who I’m talking about...

As long as we're still dehumanizing actual humans, like children in the womb, we're centuries away from even considering anything artificial alive. But then...there are moron leftists who place more priority on animals than their fellow humans, and some that don't even want to be human or have a human race at all. The same poor, confused people that can't define a woman.
