One of science fiction’s greatest writers warned us about a AI. Does he also hold the remedy? | Alan Finkel
TL;DR
What might a modern day equivalent of Isaac Asimov’s laws of robotics look like? Guided by the author, I propose the three laws of AI Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk predicted in July that legions of AI-powered robots would dominate the physical world and that AI might not take orders from people any more.
Nauti's Take
The proposal has the advantage of compressing regulation into three memorable principles instead of 200 pages of compliance text. The limit of Asimov analogies is that they work in fiction because the author writes the edge cases, while real systems absorb their rules from training data and product incentives.
Companies deploying AI gain more safety from documented escalation paths than from elegantly worded principles.
