[ WP ] Tell us about the civil rights movement that is formed when sentient robots are invented .

Sentient robots have not yet been created, they have only been patented. The people holding the patents are a factor that inhibits innovation and slows down progress but in this case it was a good thing. 
 
 Amidst all of the fighting over our own intellectual properties we all came to some agreements: 
 
 ( 1 ) A sentient machine, when one is created, will be able to own its intellectual property; 
 ( 2 ) A machine should not be created that is ambiguous as to whether it is sentient and can be granted personhood rights. ( ( People grant themselves and other people rights by agreement that does n't have to be in some formally legal way. This includes non-human people. ) )
