Do AIs Have Human Rights?

     There's an interesting point raised in the Blade Runner, which has been discussed thousands of times nowadays but is still fascinating. Should AIs have human rights?
     Obviously in the movie the Replicants had none of the human rights. They looked exactly like human and thought and felt almost the same as humans, except lacking some sort of empathy in a test. However, their life was limited in four years by programming; they were used as tools; they saved and killed people under orders; they were forcefully "retired" when humans were tired or even afraid of them. People could never tell the difference between a Replicant and a human simply based on their appearance, and a Replicant could live a human life as long as he or she was not detected. However, once they failed the test, all the human rights they had before were deprived in a second. When some creature, or individual, could think, believe, love, and struggle for life (as Rachel and Roy in the movie), should humans still put themselves in the place of God to decide if the AIs are "human" enough to have basic civil rights? Or, in other words, when something is already intelligent enough to make their voluntary choice, can we just simply deny their most fundamental right to life?
     At the end of the movie, Roy said to Deckard:" I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhäuser Gate. " He reminded me of an episode in the TV series Torchwood. The Torchwood team was using an alien as a bait in order to find out who was behind the incident. Such decision definitely put the alien in huge danger, but the leader never hesitated on it. A teammate questioned him that when it was never okay to use a person as a bait, it was totally fine to use an alien. I didn't remember how the team leader reacted, but the meaning behind that scene was that humans had the highest priority above anything else.
     I feel that it was a similar case in the Blade Runner. Replicants were sent out to do the things so no human would need to do so and kill the peoples so no human would need to commit murder. They were placed outside of humans' laws in the very beginning, but it turned out to be their crime and lead them to execution eventually.
