Experts have called for the artificial intelligence of the future that is believed to be 'conscious' to be given personhood rights. The development of artificial intelligence is exponential, and the release of products or tools, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Microsoft's Bing Chat, is just the beginning of the newly emerging space. The experts added that conscious AI could demand to be deleted, beg to do certain tasks over others, insist on being given its own rights, powers, and even be treated as if it were a human. While the experts propose scenarios where they believe that personhood rights would be necessary for conscious AI, the real-life implementation of them comes with its own set of issues.
