| Nov 17, 2015 at 23:11 | comment | added | user543 | @PetrHudeček, I understand and appreciate your reasoning, but it contains some hidden assumptions that are not necessarily true, or whose truth value might change over time. E.g. if enough robots knew enough about the world and had enough ability, then over time their actions would make it no longer true that "humans are being harmed every second". That would then free the robots to follow laws 2 and 3. Anyhow, I agree that that is somewhat off-topic, and that this is not the place for an extended discussion, so I propose to say no more about that here. | |
| Nov 17, 2015 at 17:58 | comment | added | Petr Hudeček | Unfortunately, no. For example, humans are being harmed every second so robots would never be able to apply laws 2 and 3, and so would be utterly outside human control, which does increase safety. I think comments on Law.SE are not a good place to discuss that, though :). But I don't think there's any regulation on AI yet anywhere in the world. | |
| Nov 17, 2015 at 16:59 | comment | added | user543 | @PetrHudeček, no law that I'm aware of is a guarantee of safety. However, unless I'm mistaken: compared to an absence of laws, the Three Laws substantially increase the probability of human safety in a world that contains robots capable of overpowering humans. That is meaningful and worthwhile. | |

They were a narrative device for Asimov's writing, and Asimov himself showed some of their problems in his stories. He never seriously proposed that our robots just need to adopt the three laws to be safe. | |

Added "software" tag, since AI is software.
