AI robot will look no different from one that truly wants to survive

Looking like something from the outside is different from actually being it. And thos is an important difference, when it comes to questions like giving rights to AIs.
An AI might not want to survive as some end goal but as a means to another end: optimization.  If an AI robot is given a task to optimize something (e.g. digging much gold as possible from under the Earth's surface) and if it figures the best way to do it is to fend off everyone who is trying to stop it, then it will "act" like it wants to survive.  And at the end of the day, the actions taken from the AI robot will look no different from one that truly wants to survive.
