First addendum, and it's from the person who wrote the draft...
== AIs and the Law ==
The [[Fenspace Convention] guarantees AIs the same rights and responsibilities it guarantees humans. Thus, an AI cannot legally be treated as property, nor can an AI expect immunity from prosecution simply for being an AI if it commits a crime. An AI's creator is legallyNote there is a difference between "legally" and "socially" or "romantically". considered to be its parent; if an AI wants to leave, the AI's parent is expected to do as much for the AI as he or she would for a human child in the same circumstances.What a parent does for a departing child varies widely between factions, of course.
Most [[Boskonians] treat AIs as useful equipment. The legal status of AIs in the 'Danelaw is unclear at best.
