Robot rights - a poser for the 21st century

Science | The Guardian Robot rights - a poser for the 21st century: "The fight against discrimination based on race, gender, class and sexuality may not yet be won, but experts in artificial intelligence are warning that this century societies will have to tackle a new prejudice - against individuals with brains made of silicon.
