Citizenship and Artificial Humanoids
摘要
Moving beyond moral status, this chapter addresses the socio-political dimensions of robot rights. Drawing on Donaldson and Kymlicka’s Zoopolis, it proposes a new model of artificial citizenship. Three types of machine citizenship are articulated: (1) co-citizenship for advanced, morally autonomous humanoids; (2) denizenship for socially embedded but cognitively limited robots; and (3) functional citizenship for utility-based robots with socially valuable roles. A detailed framework of human–robot relationships is offered, ranging from servitude to shared responsibility to freedom. The chapter also reaffirms the One-World Hypothesis: that humans and artificial entities share a common moral and socio-political space. The notion of the Humanoid Citizen is introduced as a prototype for the moral personhood of future artificial entities.
