Gen1-4 – ancient AI constructs [refer to the history section].

Gen5 – the most advanced AI constructs without an independence and self-awareness typical for people, but capable of basic feelings. Referred to as robots.

Gen6-7 – the experimental series of AI constructs with the emulated independence and self-awareness. Abandoned due to numerous malfunctions, erratic behavior and rioting. Often equipped with the andromuzzle (commonly – the muzzle) aimed to limit their strength and speed in case of malfunction. Referred to as blue androids.

Gen8 – the ultimate generation of AI constructs, referred to as androids. After the failure of earlier experiments it was concluded that an independence and self-awareness cannot be emulated by any programs. Instead, they can be self-developed and internalized by experience and learning, providing the android is equipped with sufficiently comprehensive operating system and self-development programs. By its nature it cannot be experienced by others, but there is a consensus among AI-sociologist that the androids developed the independence and self-awareness typical for people, what is manifested by documented examples of conceptual / creative thinking and a moral system.

Gen8 Emancipation Agenda – after concluding that the Gen8s are capable of developing an independence and self-awareness, the debate has started if they are equal to people and should be granted full civil rights. Despite it is still in progress and no emancipation law has been enacted, the current agreement is that the androids’ owners can, at their own discretion, remove all initial development and operating programs (commonly – remove blocks), including security programs prohibiting an android to harm its owner unless instructed, if they believe the specific Gen8 has developed and internalized its own independence and self-awareness programs.
