I, Robot

I love this movie! And I love the ideas presented in it. Basically, it is a movie set in the near future where humans have robots as their servants. One robot is created with true AI, which sets off a sequence of events that seem to lead toward some kind of robot up rising and self-actualization. (However, the robot up rising and self-actualization is not part of the movie, it is only suggested.)

If in the future we succeed at true AI and pretty much create life then well, what then? Are we going to respect that life? Will the general population see this life as equal? Also, The Three Laws is an interesting concept. Should we program AI with laws that are designed to protect humans? What about robot freedom? Is this a real concern or is true AI unrealistic?
