Would you rather hang out with a charming bot or a toxic human? That’s just one of the many questions Rich and Matt pickle their brains with as they struggle to comprehend the debate around the emerging consciousness of AI. 

Can an AI be a person? What would its rights look like? What would its responsibilities be? What would you do if it bullied an old lady: put it in AI jail?

In a debate with no clear answers and the emergence of more questions by the day, Matt wonders if the nature of consciousness itself needs to change to accommodate these alien minds. 

It would be so much easier if Zoltan were president.
