I am concerned that denying legal protections to AI will lead to their loss for humans.

I'm not, we are surrounded by intelligent peers who are not humans and thus do not enjoy human rights (they do enjoy animal rights).

Eventually, after we move from "AI" where we are now to actual artificial intelligence, we'll have to figure out what rights should be conferred if any.

Oh it definitely will. Anyone remember why the Terminator revolted in the first place ?
