EU Parliament Wants Electronic Personhood

According to gizmodo.com, "Over 150 experts in AI, robotics, commerce, law and ethics from 14 countries have signed an open letter denouncing the European Parliament's proposal to grant personhood status to intelligent machines." Many technologists have critiqued their actions, because they think it's too soon to consider robot's people. Still the EU Parliament believes the best way to control future conflict with human-like technology is with Electronic personhood.
