Quote: Anna, and all other artificially aged creatures such as Hallie, Asil, Fleabot, Catbot, and the whole urban robot population, need some other criterion by which to be assessed. Software? Psyche test? Personal choice? There's no agreed measure.
They'd pretty much have to be tested individually. There could be a 30-year old robot out there whose intelligence is capped at a minimal level, too.
Quote: Think about how you'd go about contructing a test for a "normal" human to award an adulthood certificate. You'd probably want to check on their citizenship, their emotional balance, their personal integrity, their sense of responsibility, their capacity to empathise, their performance under stress.
Quote: How many humans would pass?
Machines would need much more stringent tests, simply because humans have had thousands of years to figure it out. Before humans figured it out, they had primitive "rites of passage" to prove that they were mature enough to handle adult things. That's pretty much where it will have to start with machines, only less standardized.
