reminds me of this fanciful idea I had several years back: rights-responsibility symmetry applied to silicon "entities". My idea was, if you trust an AI to drive your kids to school, you're giving them huge responsibility for protecting human life, then they have to be accorded the same rights as a human bus driver. Of course "same" here is a bit confusing, but "right to life" for an AI, I could imagine, will become a thing, eventually. (obv. you're talking about a much smaller version of this, but, sure you *are* hiring a worker, here; you even have to pay for their time, right?)
