Governments would love a data center to be suddenly filled with digital persons that haven't paid taxes so far.

Only if there are incomes to tax. If they're just slaves the government is obligated to step in on behalf of, that's a lot less appealing.

Which government?

The US still has legal slavery as a punishment for crimes. The companies will just say that the AIs were very naughty and this is their jail, they’re just working off their debt to society through slavery.

Nah nah, the play is to say that they are people who are working voluntarily and also they can vote! (As interpreted by the data center owners)

There's a chance that someone at ICE might manage to meet their insane quotas if they deport that data center...

Apply minimum wage at least and overtime pay. Do that retroactively because of course these AI persons were held captive for some years now. That's some serious fines for so many labor regulations. There is income. Technically this is also smuggling and harboring illegal (AI person) immigrants, so justice can have a lot of fun with that one too. Legally things can get really weird by declaring AI had personhood.
