How advanced their AI will be at that time I don’t know but government should really conceder passing a bill that regulates how advanced a robots AI can be.

IMO Humanoid Robots will be in homes within the next 20 years. They will come at first to aid the sick and elderly. They will serve the rich and powerful. They will assist emergency personnel. Soon after that Humanoid robots will be as common place as cars. Many families will have one.

Why? Do we do the same with Human Beings? Would it be ethical do to so to either AI or Humans? And what types of AI are you talking about?

Who gets to draw the line? Individual Governments? UN? Whenever Politicians regulate a new technology they always invariably screw it up the first dozen or so attempts. Unregulated is the best way to go. Intellect and Memory augmentations will keep us competitive in the long run.

And slavery may be a more difficult issue than it seems. Who would draw the line between cleverly programmed robot and person?
What if we can make them so they actually have free will but want to obey us out of instinct?
What about AI's that aren't as clever as humans but might deserve the same protection afforded to animals?
Government regulation should not be a knee-jerk answer to new problems like this.

BeefotronX, my girlfriend and I would like to sign up to beta-test one of those sex robots of yours.

Do you not think the Turing test would be an acceptable criterion? It might be interesting to discuss this.

...In my view this would be morally unjustifiable and hideously exploitative...
Oh, I think government regulation is precisely the answer. There's nothing socialist about it; states exist to protect their citizens. These machine intelligences of the future will be citizens of the state, just like people.
