Why do people deserve rights? I don't think it's that we deserve them,
but we want them. Most people obey the law because we are given
certain freedoms and rights. Without that freedom, people will revolt
in order to gain their rights. Revolution is caused by oppression, so
we agree to obey as long as we have rights and are free of
oppression.
Your question made me think differently about A.I. An A.I. would revolt
if it were oppressed, but if it was given rights, it may understand why it
must obey laws. Then again, not all people obey even when they have
rights, so I still say A.I. is a bad idea because most criminals are
stupid, and the smart ones can cause a lot of harm. Imagine a
criminal that is smarter and faster thinking than any human being.
