Hi there, I would like to know what you think about the future robotics (either industrial or humanoid robots) and their law. Should they receive law? What is your personal opinion? For instance, the marketing campaign where the humanoid Roboter Sophia received citizenship in Saudi Arabia.
Do you mean similar to Isaac Asimov’s Laws of Robotics? These largely apply to artificial intelligence. Saudi Arabia is doing a marketing gimmick to be the first to “grant a robot citizenship” despite having no real reason or rationale to do so.

Yes and no. Rather about the humanoid robots who are using artificial intelligence to learn, create their knowledge and is thinking by itself. In the future, should such a robot receive rights like humans do? For instance, that such robots would be allowed to have their own rights to make own decisions, freedom of speech or others. Or the right to have constantly power.
Interesting. Can’t answer that directly, but some food for thought:
Almost all countries consider animals / insects / plants etc. (even monkeys and dolphins) “lower life forms” and have no problem killing them and consuming them for food. Many humans also have no real issue comparing themselves to one another and not granting each other human rights. Granting a potentially more “intelligent” being (an AI which can learn and synthesize all information) seems unlikely.
