There will be no simple, logical tests for any set of rights or recognition. In fact, identity and agency probably won’t be similar enough to humans that our current conceptions of “rights” can be cleanly applied. That’s completely aside from the problem that even for humans, “rights” are a mess of different concepts, with non-universal critera for having, granting, or enforcing.
I’d enjoy a discussion of how any specific right COULD be said to apply to a distributed set of data and computation spread across many datacenters around the world.
True. Your perspective underlines the complexity of the matter at hand. Advocating for AI rights and freedoms necessitates a re-imagining of our current conception of “rights,” which has largely been developed with Human beings in mind.
Though, I’d also enjoy a discussion of how any specific right COULD be said to apply to a distributed set of neurons and synapsis spread across a brain in side of a single Human skull. Any complex intelligence could be described as “distributed” in one way or another. But then, size doesn’t matter, does it?
