Star Trek has had multiple episodes where the humanity & rights of AI are brought into question - several other episodes with Data, large parts of the EMH's arc on Voyager, the episode with the Exocomps, how Dr. Moriarty's situation was handled, just to name the ones I remember.

(Fun fact: I was temporarily banned from a subreddit because I kept arguing that the Federation hates & fears AI, because the moderators thought I was trolling. I was glad to have been vindicated by the first season of Picard!)


That is most certainly one of the greatest episodes of the entire Star Trek franchise
