Technically disassembly wouldn't be that bad. I mean that's what they do at the robot fighting arena, disassemble each other for the entertainment of people. And then Faye and Bubbles put them back together again. Erasure of their hard drives would be real death for an AI. I'm sure that those military grade drives their minds are stored on include hardening... but one rule of armor is no matter how tough you make it, someone will always find a bigger and better bullet to get through. EMP weapons would be the most effective against AI soldiers. Possibly against Geneva Convention style rules on warfare for much the same reasons that chemical weapons are forbidden against humans.... But things like that tend only to happen only after we see the horrible aftermath of those weapons being used. Watching your comrades in arms and code being nailed by a pulse gun and having half their code scrambled permanently would I think be enough to turn someone from a combat AI into a pacifist.
ReindeerFlotilla:
We don't know if AI are people outside the US, though.
Admittedly, the US stopped leading on human rights a long, long time ago, but the US is still hovering in the top 10 to 15 % on that score. That means there could be a good 150, 160 countries that might not recognize AI as anything more than tools.
Is it cold in here?:
Wow, BenRG could keep busy for weeks writing fanfic about how AIs are treated in different countries.
Even in the QC USA, the equal rights amendment for AIs is quite a recent accomplishment.

I wouldn't take off armor in there. Some busted up robot might have sticky fingers.
