Saudi Arabia Gives Citizenship to a Robot
- minademian 9y agoand now for something completely different...
- KGIII 9y agoHmm... This gave me an interesting thought. Well, interesting to me. I give it to you. What happens when Saudi Arabia gives region to a robot? I imagine it would be assigned. Would it need to be assigned a religion to work at Mecca during the Haj? There's a short story in there, somewhere.

- ghostDancer 9y agoI was thinking what kind of citizen, more or less rights than women, more or less duties , will it have to stop on Fridays?. Sounds funny but they have to answer those questions in a strict religious country.
- PietdeVries 9y agoSo citizenship for a robot. That implies 'human' rights for the 'thing'. Healthcare, unemployment, etc. It should be allowed to vote I guess? And as citizens cannot have an owner, it is now an independent legal entity? It can go to jail? So many questions, so little answers...
- dogma1138 9y agoIt’s Saudi Arabia so most of these aren’t relevant questions. A better question should be would the robot be allowed to operate without a male companion.
