Asimov was a really smart guy, and his Laws of Robotics were an interesting observation about the dangers of having conscious robots. But as we get closer to the day, we see how difficult any implementation of such a concept would really be.

William Gibson wrote about the Turing Police who enforce laws against AI and try to block actual implementation of the technology.

Frank Herbert wrote about the Butlerian Jihad which wiped out all machines that think.

I’m not at all sure we can co-exist with AI. I think that just co-existing with humans who support Progressivism is pretty impossible.

We see that governments - and other power centers - would abrogate those laws any time they saw a chance to gain a short-term advantange.

There was a time, not too long ago, when the levels of election fraud that are commonplace today would never have been dared - for fear of eventual retribution. I expect the same will happen with AI.

LOL. AI’s get everything right but have no feelings. Progressives get everything wrong but are only feelings.
