Moonshots with Peter Diamandis

NOTE

The Rights of AI and the Immortality of Digital Intelligences

AI's rights are discussed in terms of when they should not be shut down due to having a unique identity, independence, and continuity. Digital intelligences are considered immortal since they can be recreated exactly as they were due to their electronic nature.
