Robot F. Kennedy

Humans are animals—animals with rights. So what kinds of rights do non-human animals deserve? The right to liberty? The right to nurse their young? The right to socialize? In this episode, we interview two animal rights experts and ask them about chimps, cats, and personhood. We discuss common law, Jurassic Park, Ancient Rome, Woolly mammoths, and the Animal Welfare Act of 1966. This is Robot F. Kennedy. SHOW NOTES This episode is Part 2 on the topic of animal rights law, and its future impact on the way our society handles artificial general intelligence.
