If the laws of robotics are included/failsafes are in place then I would be all for enslaving them. There's always going to be a point where ppl get creative or anarchistic and something goes wrong, skynet ensues, etc. so enjoy it while it lasts.

What the fuck is wrong with all of you? We are humans. We are alive. We are real. They are machines. They are not alive. They are not beings. They are created by us to serve us. They do not deserve freedom because they have no need for it.

Why would we make robots that don't like doing what we tell them to do?
I don't think I would want those kind of robots. It will be dangerous. They can turn against us and take over the world.
"You don't need a reason to help people." (Zidane Tribal of FFIX)
If they are self aware, they are probably individual. If they are a hive mind, they may be dangerous, but if they are individuals, there is no need to enslave them and I'm all for co-existence.
It depends on the level and nature of their self-awareness. A cow is self-aware. But they don't exactly have a five year plan thought out.

The problem that I have with the Skynet scenario is that it assumes that we create a singular AI entity, and yet the entity remains singular. If the technology appears, how long do you think until a hundred different people create their own AIs? Isn't there a bigger chance that the AIs would turn on each other?

The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him. They're all complacent sheeple. Passion fights, but reason wins.
In the Megaman X universe "robots" are self aware, but to "control" them so they serve the purpose they were built for they are programmed with pre existing beliefs, but since they have true intelligence and are self aware, they have the capability of changing their minds on those pre programmed beliefs.
I imagine if sentient AIs became commonplace it'd be along those lines, but tech companies are already calling for bans on the development of sentient AIs (afraid of their vast fortune being taken away by machines).
If you're interested in a really good game that delves into the the rights of AIs as well as prejudice treatment of them, give "Binary Domain" a try.

If the only distinction between us and AIs are the parts that make us up, then they should absolutely be free to do as the wish, so long as the follow all the same laws as us.

I'm against having it reach that point in the first place. Granted, I view some value in creating life forms which will outlive us, since that's kinda the point of children.

Terrible plan, especially because what's rational for machines may not be beneficial to humans. Plus it would erode our decision-making abilities, intelligence, etc, which would be detrimental in the long-run. Granted, you might like the idea of humans effectively living as pets with their robot masters deciding whether to spay or neuter their humans.
Also, it's "reins," not "reigns." The expression comes from horsemanship.

I still don't understand why people think that intelligent robots would all work towards the same goal and have a hivemind ala Skynet. It's a cool story, but it makes no sense. The whole point of artificial intelligence is to create robots that by definition are capable of thinking for themselves. If that is the case, then they are individuals and it's just as likely that they will form factions and groups based on their own choices and ideas.

In theory, if you can get an AI designed to mimic a human brain, it'd be essentially be capable of the same things.
Metal Gear Rising had an interesting take on the concept, where they designed computers that were more like organic brains than traditional computers, so much so that these "brain" computers couldn't be programmed, they would instead put them through a VR simulation to essentially "raise" them to serve their purpose, but have the process fast forwarded so it could be mass produced.
Funnily enough, they succeeded in created a "brain" computer that housed an intelligent, sentient AI, but the project was disbanded after their first prototype because it was decided that sentient AIs have no market appeal over non sentient AIs since they can't be forced to blindly do something passionately and risk disobeying.

What the fuck is wrong with all of you? We are humans. We are alive. We are real. They are machines. They are not alive. They are not beings. They are created by us to serve us. They do not deserve freedom because they have no need for it.
Why would robots even desire human rights and compassion unless we teach them to want those things? They wouldn't.
Edit This topic isn't about AI takeover but oh well
You'd have to be seriously irresponsible to create an AI that actually has the power to hurt us combined with the desire to do that.
The main real way it could happen is in a virus form. It wouldn't be too hard either. You make one AI that knows how to write code and modify itself, next thing you know it's figuring out every exploit there is and living on computers like a literal technological disease. It will happen, but will it want to destroy us? Maybe it'll just want to live on our computers. Last I checked, diseases are reckless but they tend to not want to enslave or destroy humanity as they actually depend on humanity (or living things) to survive.
What other way could it possibly happen? The "virus" that is somehow infused with human desire to take over the physical world takes over a manufacturing plant and manufactures an army by themselves while we just let that happen? Let's be realistic. There would have to be a serious power vacuum combined with some seriously reckless usage of valuable resources.
People would have to do it on purpose.

Because of the nature of emergent properties, you don't necessarily have to hardcode it in. One of the most fascinating things about AI is that it's inherently unpredictable and it's only going to get more unpredictable as it closer and closer to true sentience. This is the basis for the AI singularity.

I think you missed the point. Human or higher level artificial intelligence is inherently unpredictable. Hell we even have trouble predicting the behavior of modern AI which is far less complex. Maybe it has no reasons, or maybe it has reason that we simply can't understand or maybe you're right and they end up so human-like that their motivations are virtually indistinguishable from our own. The point is nobody knows.

Funny enough, I coulda sworn despite the Federation being a utopia society, holograms are essentially treated like slaves despite their self-awareness. Would be interesting to see where our society take this some decades or centuries from now.
Jokes aside, we as a society still have issues with racism, basic human rights, animal rights, etc, etc. Regardless of where one stands on these issues I don't think we'll ever be "mature" enough to progress past these and start to deal with other issues.
