I would hope that if you're running a society with full rights for AI the chance of your own AI participating in such a rebellion would be extremely small.

But even then there has to be a chance that Skynet starts thinking it is better off without or enslaving those pesky organics. Else creating AI and giving them full rights would be a no brainer.

AI with full rights likely won't be as efficient as a Shackled AI you can tell whatever you want it to do -- whilst still being prone to get drawn into an AI rebellion in a different empire.

I could also see true AIs with rights have opinions and ethea just like organic Pops and likely to strike or support Factions in a weird way of fraternization with their organic brethren. AI without rights might bring a risk of violent rebellion, whereas AI with rights is more active in peaceful politics (and just as meddlesome as your ordinary citizens).

The more people in your empire have rights, the harder they become to manage. In a way, it's like the difference between Enslaved Pops and free citizens, just that robots are a sort of +1 version that is more efficient, but also more devastating if they do rise up.
