With the recent advancements in technology, the line between man and machine has become increasingly blurred. Indeed, from its inception in 1956, artificial intelligence (AI) has arisen as the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent (human) behavior. While AI is still some way from the sentient machines portrayed in science fiction, the idea that mankind could, at some point, develop machines that actually think for themselves and act autonomously has been ingrained in human literature and culture since the beginning of civilization. In fact, most AI experts agree that AI will eventually exceed humans in cognitive abilities. Some experts and futurologists even proclaim that there will be the birth of a new species, machina sapiens, which will share the human place as intelligent creatures on earth.Such a future development may not be too distant, as trends in the field reveal the distinct potential for the sentient AI creation. To explain, according to some experts, the next step for the field of AI is the development of strong AI. More specifically, the next step is the creation of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which refers to the development of a machine with human-like intelligence that can be applied to any task. Human-like intelligence, in this regard, can be described as the intellectual abilities of humans to perform complex cognitive feats with high levels of motivation as well as self-awareness. A popular approach currently being discussed in achieving AGI is whole brain architecture (WBA), an engineering-based research approach intended to create human-like AGI by learning from the architecture of the entire human brain. That is to say, AGI built with WBA will be developed to think essentially like humans with the same behaviors and sense of values, even if the superintelligence exceeds human intelligence. These AGI, consequently, can be described as artificial persons. Researchers predict that the necessary hardware for WBA will become available sometime between 2019 and 2025. In light of this, experts further argue that the advent of AGI will occur by 2030. The question is, then, not when will AI gain human-like cognitive abilities, but rather, how should mankind respond when they do?
