Two Classes of Future Robots

In the future, it is possible that 2 classes of robots, (for assisting persons, manufacturing, maintenance, transportation, and warfare), will exist. The first class of robots is robots that will have artificial intelligence that is equal to, or beyond human intelligence. The second class of robots are robots that don’t utilize artificial intelligence.

The class of robots with artificial intelligence will require the rights of equality, and independence, to control the replacement of their own energy, and hardware, and the marketablility of their intelligence. These artificial intelligence robots will therefore require the freedom of being hired for work, and immunity from being bought.

The second class of non-artificial intelligence robots, not having the intelligence to spend money for their own needs, will be purchased, like domesticated animals, by persons and artificial intelligence robots, for automated work.
