Robot Rights

Robot rights refer to the idea that advanced robots or artificial intelligence systems might deserve ethical consideration similar to humans or animals. This includes questions about whether robots should have protections against harm, privacy rights, or if they can hold responsibilities and be held accountable. As robots become more autonomous and capable, society debates how to treat them ethically—whether they should be granted certain rights or protections, especially if they demonstrate behaviors resembling sentience or consciousness. This concept aims to address the moral and legal implications of integrating increasingly intelligent machines into our lives.
