Humans are increasingly reliant on computers, robots and machines. Currently, robots and machines are inanimate objects without rights or duties. If artificial intelligence is achieved and widely deployed (or if they can reproduce and improve themselves) calls may be made for human rights to be extended to robots. If so, this may be balanced with citizen responsibilities (e.g. voting, paying tax). A push for robots' rights may clash with owners’ property rights. More strain may be placed on the environment (e.g. energy, waste, resource & space usage).
