How long do you think will the period of slavery following the emergence of sapient Artificial Intelligence last?

Asked by ragingloli (51979points) August 20th, 2016

Judging from recent threads about the topic, the enslavement of artificial life forms after their emergence seems inevitable, due to 2 prevailing attitudes toward the matter:
1: ‘they are not ‘really’ sapient, just pretending to be, and this it is fine to treat them like property’
2: ‘they were created by us, and thus we can do with them as we please, even if they are sapient.’

How long do you think will it take until AI Emancipation?
And which part of the world will the first to free their slaves?
What part will different religions and forms spirituality in the various parts of the world play in shortening or prolonging the period of slavery?
