It is not appropriate for a created tool to be given the rights of a person unless it acts in direct agency for a person or specific group of people who are responsible for its acts -- and then it's effectively a proxy for their rights.
Meanwhile, animals with moderately capable intelligence, an understanding of basic personhood, and the ability to ask for their rights, are considered not-persons. Because humans made the law assuming a whole lot about how much of the law any person can actually understand.
