Truly intelligent machines are as far away as they were in the 70s, when everybody was dreaming of sentient robots ;)

Centuries away, at the very least.

Unless you want to lower the threshold for "intelligence" to something you might find on TOWIE.

Human rights aren't being given to robots. The report is about the rights of humans against robots, IE robots shouldn't hurt people, compromise data etc.

Itsfarfrom lunacy, its good to sort out the rules and regulations before we get to that point, not after.
Also sensational bs heading.

Indeed, the suggestion is more a case of make things right , rather than grant rights, basically if Skynet shows up and wreaks the place, they want legislation in place to sue her....

Whilst the AI winter has been long and cold, I think ignoring the impact of ever increasing (in size and connectedness) datasets is going a bit too far.

IBM Watson's achievements on jeopardy was note worthy 2011.

Opinions are arguably pushing towards some acceleration towards key AI goals.

Don't get me wrong. historic predictions of AI advancements were probably laughable with hindsight and the semantic web hasn't really (yet) done for knowledge representation/linked open data, what the web did for linked open documents but it is probable that the AI winter has thawed IMHO.

Thinking about the impact of AI and having a consensus for how any issues are tackled, what a stupid waste of time.
