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.

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.
