I want to live another 50 years...

... because I want to live long enough to see Strong AI become a reality, and because I want to see whether the Singularity happens or not. (I think that Kurzweil severely underestimates the difficulty of reverse-engineering the human brain/mind.)

Nevertheless, given our difficulties in comprehending the humanity of other human beings different from ourselves, or accommodating the sentience of other species with whom we share the planet, what are the odds that we will treat our new siblings, the Strong AIs, with the love and respect they'll be due?
