Thinking about articles talking about how robots took the jobs of people (and boredom) got me thinking: How will we handle resistance towards robots? As the decades progress I could see hostility increasing against them. And as robots become more and more advanced I do believe we may find it more common to find robot "racism" -which may bother people when they finally do look and act very similar to us.

 

Should governments take preventive measures to stop future discrimination towards robots? Or would you encourage the "robotist" mindset?

And where do we define when a robot is sentient enough to obtain rights? Should a robot that is built to make cars get the same rights as a robot that walks and talks like you and I?

 

I'm rambling out of boredom XD But they are ideas I'm interested in knowing your guys' opinions on
