So much more wordy and complicated than it needs to be. Hasn’t anybody here read Asimov? His works contain everything you need to know about AI. In fact, he laid out a simple quide decades ago, to manage AI. He called it the “Three Laws of Robotics”

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Asimov’s three rules are succinct because he was actually intelligent, unlike the various AIs being marketed these days.

Asimov, everything need to know about AI? Hardly. Science fiction is fiction first, despite how it’s referenced.

My favorites of his robotics stories involve problems with the three laws (one had a robot that was stuck in a loop for hours because of the way it had been told to carry out a rescue I think it was; the other had a robot with an altered version of the first law and had committed murder).

His “The Billiard Ball”, “Marooned Off Vesta”, and “Nightfall” are my favorites of his, but I’ve not read any of his in decades.

Asimov wrote the laws.

Now lets see him enforce them.

Lol.
