In my opinion the american government needs to be very careful with handling North Korea. Because Kim Jong Un is not a reasonable Person like the most Leaders of other Statesshould be, but more like a unstable Mind. So even if America would be able to invade North Korea succesfully and kill Kim Jong Un, he would leave no option untried to make his enemys and probably also his own population suffer before he is defeated. A possible historical example for similar behaviour of Dictators before their fall could be the "Nero Befehl" in Nazi Germany before the end of WW2. To be able to deal with North Korea the american Government will have to work together with China and maybe even Russia to have a good enough base of legimentation for their actions.

To be able to answer the question, if complex robotic systems should be given rights, we need to make clear, what we think is the requirement for an individuum to get rights. The first possibility is the one that was also referenced above, that something that is able to feel pain or something very similar should be granted rights because of its ability to suffer from that pain. This is an argumentation often used by Vegans ans Vegetarians but also by some philosophers like Hans Jonas. If we use this way of approaching the discussion even the most complex AI wouldnt need rights because they are not able to feel pain in any way. The second possibility says, that something that has thoughts, can percept itself as an idividuum and has dreams etc needs rights. If we choose this way of approach the decision is way harder because we would have to draw a line between non self-aware AIs ans self-aware AIs.
