They will be given human rights. You won’t be able to turn them off, talk mean to them, nor stop their welfare checks.

In a world where a billion or more have irregular or no electricity, justifying lots of electrical power for AI is a violation of human rights.

And the scary thing is how many techies assume the machines will make logical decisions for us humans, so much better than people, though the decision making models the machines would use are based on criteria human set.

Gene Roddenberry’s “Andromeda” actually had a decent projection of this. When the rebellion was asked why you’d rebel such a perfect system, the man explained that you had a machine whose solution to the epidemic was kill the infected - cost effective, simple, fast. That not everyone died of the plague and no one wanted to die was irrelevant to the AI.
