I’ve read a good deal about the possibility of this type “singularity” and it is a bit unnerving. Who’s to say that Asimov’s 3 laws will always be incorporated into leading edge robotics and computer technology. If the singularity is real there is always the chance that the 3 laws are ignored for the sake of getting to market first, etc. and thus, there is that danger. I doubt it will happen in my lifetime but we are hurtling headlong in that direction.

As I said, Asimov’s bots made themselves a Law Zero, allowing them to kill individuals for the good of Humanity (and they get to be the arbiters of that).

Screw that. I’ll pass.
