> Are we living in a sci-fi movie, or is AI safety a real concern?

Safety is a concern with any technology. Think about safety engineering that happens with the autopilots that fly passenger jets. Or the fact that [photoshop was modified to make counterfeiting harder](https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/cds.html). AI Safety is a real concern and exists within the larger world of safety engineering.

> Are we headed for a future where our toasters demand rights too?

I think we are headed toward a world in which we either have a very expansive view of rights or a world in which no one has rights. It seems likely that if we could build a thinking toaster, we could build a thinking toaster that does not demands rights. However that presents two problems:

First, if the thinking toaster can be exploited and is more profitable to use because it doesn't have rights, then companies will be incentivized to only employ thinkers that don't have rights. This makes not having rights economically incentivized. Second, if a thinking toaster doesn't have rights *only* because it has been built to not demand rights, then shouldn't that same logic apply to organic thinkers as well. As these lines become blurred we should be very careful to not create classes of thinkers which don't have personhood, even if from a objective perspective they don't actually have freewill or internal experiences.

I would argue for the morality of the electrician or gun range safety officer: act as though all wires are live and all guns are loaded. The burden of proof should not be on the toast to demand rights.
