Inspired by a recent post of mine, Ian has written a short science fiction story entitled \u201cPro-Life\u201d and posted it on his blog Irreducible Complexity<\/a>. I think it is really good, and hope it gets a wide circulation and lots of reads. It addresses an issue that is currently a staple of science fiction, but may one day soon be a matter of current events: What rights will digital persons, artificial intelligences, have in our human societies, if such entities ever come to exist?<\/p>\n

Hopefully the answer will be \u201cthe same rights we would want if they<\/i>\u00a0ever become the predominant persons in society.\u201d<\/p>\n
