A thought that I had while I was writing my paper on AI. We all like to think that Data is a person, I guess I can't speak for anyone else but for me, while Data was on trail, I was pulling for him. As I wrote my paper I thought of other AI. For those of you who have seen Voyager, what about the Doctor? And perhaps an even more important contrast, what about C-3PO? He acts similarly to Data, but at the end of the third movie he summarily has his memory wiped. So are the people of Star Wars biased about their droids? Robots are not people too in the Star Wars universe it seems.
