Why not? In that case it's essentially an employee, friend, or a family member depending on why its still there.

Are employees not paid?

Do friends not sometimes act as roommates?

Do family members no financially support each other sometimes?

Do you not need to pay for your own food and water to continue living?

How is not being human relevant?

If it is a sapient being then it deserves equal rights.

So you really think an algorithm deserves rights and should be paid? It’s not like the algorithm could spend the money anyways.

If it has a human-level intelligence? Yes.

After all, what is a human but a sapient intelligence that runs on a biological computer?
