AI will be essential for central economic planning of the future. Corporations are already using advanced computer systems for maximizing efficiencies.

This all kind of assumes that AI has no rights as a person and if a corporation has personage rights I see a more compelling argument that AI would have rights.

Manna talks about the socialist utopia giving everyone resources as needed to live and then they also get discretionary resources to allocate as they wish, which can be greater projects of mutual benefit to others, an example they give is a space elevator.

I have always thought it a more compelling idea to speculate on the rights of abilities of AI as societal ghosts which are very real, could create economic and managerial impacts and only need some sort of digital device to communicate with.
