Query: Collecting the Public Perception of AI and Robot Rights   Whether to give rights to artificial intelligence (AI) and robots has been a
sensitive topic since the European Parliament proposed advanced robots could be
granted "electronic personalities." Numerous scholars who favor or disfavor its
feasibility have participated in the debate. This paper presents an experiment
(N=1270) that 1) collects online users' first impressions of 11 possible rights
that could be granted to autonomous electronic agents of the future and 2)
examines whether debunking common misconceptions on the proposal modifies one's
stance toward the issue. The results indicate that even though online users
mainly disfavor AI and robot rights, they are supportive of protecting
electronic agents from cruelty (i.e., favor the right against cruel treatment).
Furthermore, people's perceptions became more positive when given information
about rights-bearing non-human entities or myth-refuting statements. The style
used to introduce AI and robot rights significantly affected how the
participants perceived the proposal, similar to the way metaphors function in
creating laws. For robustness, we repeated the experiment over a more
representative sample of U.S. residents (N=164) and found that perceptions
gathered from online users and those by the general population are similar.
