Human generations (~20+ years) because I’m talking about human legal systems. Think about how long it took legal systems to recognize other humans as legal persons with equal weight (skin color, gender, sexual orientation etc). I would expect synthetic intelligence to be an even harder road. The only mitigation I can think of is that AI will touch humans at an early age and be a constant factor. So that kind of close contact might engender legal recognition sooner. But I doubt it.
