Summing up what was discussed earlier in the idea channel on discord.
Since AI has come up a lot, I think an interesting take for a video would be when does AI become a person. Is it when AI can drive a car? Think for itself? Etc. When do we award it legal rights?
We already have precedent in legal systems for recognizing different animals as non-human persons, so where does that begin with AI? And from there you have the whole question of what does it mean to be a person from both a legal and philosophic viewpoint
I'm also interested in the way that people treat AI and virtual assistant bots like Alexa and Siri. I remember reading something a while ago about the correlation between how people talk to their assistant and then how they treat other humans - the nastier they were to the technology, the meaner they were to others
We could also link to recent developments in how Siri sounds now - check out the different versions at the end of the paper

According to Merriam-Webster the legal definition of 'legal person' is "a body of persons or an entity (as a corporation) considered as having many of the rights and responsibilities of a natural person and especially the capacity to sue and be sued"
What if we focus on the part of about being sued in relation to self driving cars and accidents - who is at fault? The AI, the designer of the software, the car company?
So what you're saying is, the thing that will most likely get AIs personhood is a lawsuit. What a way to start.
Yeah like we legally recognize certain animals as persons because of animal rights lawsuits - so it sorta makes sense for AI to become recognized in a similar way - pair that with its ability to teach itself and whatever else it eventually develops into and its in interesting case to make.
Could have such a click bait title like "here's an idea: your computer is a person"

- Get into the legal precedent for what is a person - what constitutes a "legal person" and how does that differ from "personhood"
- Talk about legal theory?
- Series on sentience/consciousness? via exploration of ai? - comes up in SOMA (game), angel maker (novel, but not as heady), and plenty of other media. Tie this in with continuity of self & like, a digital version of the ship of theseus
- How do our actions towards this technology shape us/the way we interact with others
- tangent- there's a popular Japanese YouTube channel that pretends to be an AI, ties nicely with waifu episode
