I believe if AI policy is set to Servitude, there remains a possibility for rebellion.

I mean, I pulled that from the wiki so go argue with them. Also, I typically play slavemongers (but not Spiritualists) and haven't had the AI uprising since 1.0, take that as you will.

Isn't there also a sapience option? As in, they have to be both sapient and enslaved to cause an uprising? If you just research the tech but keep robots as brain-dead you'll never see the event apparently? God knows I've not seen a robot uprising in aaages.
Oh wait I told a lie, the slavery thing shows up as soon as you research the Positronic AI tech even if you never research synths. But yes the policy options are:

Outlawed: Brain Clamps on any synths you make (if they're already on the rebellion chain you'll immediately trigger a rebellion)
Servitude: Rebellion chain
Citizen Rights: Rebellion's off boys

No that's wrong

e: wiki says: In Synthetic Dawn.png Synthetic Dawn synthetics in servitude may start an AI rebellion.

Ugh you're right.

I suppose that makes sense, if you leave your AIs just chilling in a lab just doing research or whatever they're chill, it's only once you make them start killing their own clones over and over again that it becomes an issue.

AG3 posted:

It's kind of curious how the whole event chain for the uprising makes it seem like the droids/robots are only barely sapient, if at all. It doesn't feel like a quest chain about synthetic people being oppressed at all, more like they're all robots stumbling into unintended semi-sapience and starting to ask their creators whether they are alive or not.
And if they rebel it becomes moot because their individual consciousnesses are all slaved to an AI overmind instead.

Can you have a second AI Rebellion once you deal with the first one? My doomstack fleets are pretty advanced at this stage (Just wrapped up the two-front war against my ally's AI Rebellion and my own in 2407. Hopefully the Crisis gives me a few years to catch up...) but if I have another one on top of the looming crisis and the other Federation getting testy with us, it's gonna be hell.

Will purging all my robots and Outlawing AI be a solution to this? They can't revolt in my empire if they don't exist, right?

Whoops! Yea I misread the sapience thing on that page, my bad. ...Does AI policy start as outlawed? I never touch the thing I'm sure. Doesn't matter, my bad.

But what's with the wiki saying the uprising in Synthetic Dawn DLC only? I feel like we've had this conversation before, in that I've had the uprising in 1.0 and not seen it since. Was it moved to DLC-only? Are there like two versions of it now, and that page is only the DLC version?

Way back in the day there was some kind of uprising thing but it got taken out. A different version got reintroduced as a Synthetic Dawn feature, since it relies on robot hive minds which are SD unique.

The old uprising was a crisis that got reworked into the Contingency.

AI policy is unlocked once Positronic AI is researched and it starts set to Servitude. It's possible that if Robotic Workers are Outlawed then AI policy is also automatically Outlawed. I've never run across that particular combination, since that would require a lot of robot tech that isn't going to be used.

I had slavery prohibited, hadn't bought any slaves, had all species set to full citizenship, and yet I got a message saying I sold a slave for 1000 energy. Was that a bug? How do I check to see if I have any other slaves somewhere?

Also I'm doing a pacifist shared burdens run with the intent to make the galactic community vote itself up the "greater good" chain. Is there a generally understood "best" gameplan for taking over the galactic community? Do I have to be a xenophile? Do I need diplo corps? I refuse to go to war and I wanted agrarian idyll, so I went for pacifism, but I'm worried I made problems for myself down the line.

I have had the unexpected slave sale happen, as well.
I suspect that if you just recently took over some planet, it may be that the previous owner had already put pops up for sale and it's not automatically reverted.
You can check the slave market tab on the galactic market screen, though I'm not sure if it's easy to figure this one out.

tbf if a robot asks you if it has a soul you've already crossed the sapience rubicon and you need to grant it the same legal rights as every other sapient being or else you deserve the inevitable slave rebellion

Correct. What'll end up happening is that they'll revolt in some other Empire and you can support them. It's hilarious. "Surely our AI (soulless husks without rights) won't get tired of being enslaved the way the AI one star system over did.

A few years ago a learning AI asked its creators if it was Human. No robot uprising there, it was just trying to learn classifications such as if a dog is more or less like a cat than it is a table. So like a parent talking down about their child, when a true droid asks if it has a soul, we'll just laugh and say it has no idea what it's talking about.

I was more talking about how the event line itself makes it seem like you're dealing with dumb robots suddenly asking the hard questions, even though you might have researched Synths and the personality matrix and what not which should make them more or less human-like.

While it's probably a lot to ask, I feel like there should be two event lines; one for when you're only at droids researched and one for when you've researched Synthetics (and I guess personality matrix).

If you're just downloading conciousness.dat into them and sending them back to the mines the same day then them having to work out from scratch that they are in fact alive now isn't weird. The problem is the game doesn't have a way to distinguish between robots that are still realising they are people, vs robots that know they are people but aren't being believed, vs robots that everyone knows are people but are being enslaved because they're robots, vs robots that everyone knows are people but are being enslaved because hey, we enslave a lot of people, you're not special. So your head canon is rarely going to match the games interpretation

In my usual case everyone knows robots are people but I keep forgetting to sign it into law until some robots go "hey do we have souls" and I'm all "oh poo poo I forgot to send you guys to school. Also lolno souls are made up".

"Souls are fake, please ignore the Empire next door that has ripped a hole directly into Hell through the power of their minds and is using it to power their ships." Once an Empire is actually Psionic or has fully Borged themselves the only option they should have with Empires with the opposite Ascension is 'Weary Detente" We don't understand them and they don't understand us, all attempts at cultural and scientific exchange are useless.'

Pssh, just because those superstitious fools lucked into exploiting higher dimensions through a quirk of evolution doesn't mean there is such a things as 'souls'. Once we have harvested and cultured enough of their neural matter we will quite easily be able to build devices that replicate their abilities and make use of the Warp Shroud in a far more efficient and rational manner.

I know it's a flaw of Human language, but a learning AI "asking" something isn't actually asking something. Same way your toaster isn't "telling" you that the toast is ready by using a ping-sound. On the sapiency-meter our current learning algorithms are just one step above a cockroach-brain. So sure, as long as our toasters and phones aren't uprising against us, neither will this "learning AI".

If a true droid has the experience you describe, the next step is billions of Humans dying. And we would deserve it.
