In my view "thinking" is merely a goal oriented action triggered by a need. Give a machine a need and you've cracked half the code. It does not have to be a human oriented need, the need can be fit for purpose. Trying to make a machine think like a human is the wrong approach entirely in my view. Other animals likely do not think very much like humans either and vice versa. How do you give a machine a need you say? Easy, it can be anything... one example could be to simulate a set of inputs/outputs in a controlled space/program and give an AI proponent in that space a set of self reinforcing rewards for certain actions. Remember that old snake game on the Nokia phones? Well a certain reward can be for the snake to get bigger without dying... it will soon learn what actions to pursue to fulfill that "need" and thus will start to think about its next actions if you code it correctly - it will over time become the best snake simulator/player of its own accord.

"Learning" is distinct from "thinking" and once again in my view learning is a system of ever increasingly complex association only. The fundamental/starting associations of living things are likely tied to those needs mentioned above (Likely also tied somehow to survival) and then built up into an immense construct/database of interlinked associations over time. This is how abstract thought occurs in us - we associate many things and concepts with many others in unique ways. Learning is also strongly tied to what senses are available to us or the AI in question. In that snake simulator you get to choose what senses to give that snake which will either inhibit or produce god-like capabilities of that snake. You can give it the ability to understand/sense the entire playing field or make it like a blind mole rat that can only sense 2 or 3 blocks in front of it.

My dream job is coding in artificial intelligence to realize my own personal view of AI but to date I hardly have any no coding skills :) So it will probably be a retirement project one day. The subject however intrigues me a lot.

In my view the underlying mechanism supports itself by its own virtue. When everyone is completely free or operating under a free paradigm then it is not at all difficult to understand when that contract is breached - And this is easily communicated by various technologies today. And if that contract is breached by any member of a society that member would very likely be ostracized - therefore the consequences of encroachment over freedom discourages nefarious action almost autonomously particularly in a society where free transaction of any nature is strongly upheld and generally respected. I will however add a caveat to say this type of free system likely will only work well in a society with people who generally have a high level of critical analysis of information in order to establish who to trust and also who can defer instant gratification - Or in other words a society with a good average IQ and well established supporting cultural foundations.

I wonder if we can take it even further than that and say even rights can be handled privately. In the context of the debate I gather that the role of government is to be a mediator between disputes and as an unbiased upholder of justice in a given community. Is that really all there is to it or did I miss something? Citizens subscribe to those rules/laws if they want to be recognized as citizens/members of that community. This grants them the capability of dealing with other citizens/members in that community as a matter of trust.

So then I start to question why we need government at all? In a completely free Capitalist society (If such a thing were to exist) proponents in that system would ideally not benefit from nefarious or unfair activities anyway. I mean, who wants to support or trust their money with a crook? And a justice system in a given community could also in theory be upheld by legal representatives who don't answer to any government but to the overall support of the public instead. A bill of rights is ultimately upheld by the public, not by the government. Don't believe me? Try bring slavery back and see who exactly complains first.

Even when it comes to overseeing elections and policing services - The committee who runs that can also in theory garner public support to do so based on trust and financial support.

I'm speaking from an "ideal" perspective though. People who have no desire to make a community work under a completely free system can ruin it for everyone.
