View

This document is page 166 from a collection of essays, stamped by the House Oversight Committee. It features an essay titled 'The Rights of Machines' by Harvard geneticist George M. Church. The text discusses the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, referencing Norbert Wiener's 1950 work, various sci-fi films, and the concept of 'roboethics' and rights for sentient machines. The date is inferred to be around 2018 based on the text mentioning 'sixty-eight years' since 1950.
