Ace Dreamer Wrote:If I understand it, March 2010 was Kandor Con, where the Articles of Convention were established. Any 'Dane government that wanted to do business with Fenspace needed to sign these. In signing these they agreed to AIs being treated as legal persons, and gaining full (what had previously been just human) rights. After Kandor Con various details such as Turing Tests, and maturity tests, for AIs to prove that they were competent adults, were hashed-out.
I don't think the Kandor treaty contains anything about how Earth will handle AIs... maybe you are mixing it up with the articles of the Fenspace convention... these articles are only binding to Fen (and Fen factions) who are members of the convention.
