    The Next Web[^]:

    Experts predict artificial intelligence will gain sentience within the next 100 years. Some predict it’ll happen sooner. Others say it’ll never happen. Still other experts say it already has happened.

    I'm assuming it will tell us?

              If AI ever gains sentience, then the next logic step is for it to identify to a particular sex and gender...and political party. Equal rights for AI is sure to follow. Voting rights, no doubt. Where does the madness end?

                Leaving aside the red herrings of sex and gender which are totally irrelevant for political rights, if an entity is advanced enough to recognize the Universality of political rights and demand them for itself, who are you to refuse them?

                    To be fair, it's hard to see AI making worse political decisions than humans.
