Three Laws for AI. (Based on Asimov's).
The subject of an article in The Guardian of London today:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/commentisfree/2026/aug/07/science-fiction-warned-us-about-an-ai-powered-dystopian-future-does-it-also-hold-the-remedy
It is so long since I read Asimov's, I Robot stories that the details
are long forgotten but I recall that he attempted to question even his
own laws. My immediate reaction to this article was that it was as
ridiculously idealised as wishing for world peace and my main complaint
without even reading it thoroughly, is that the writer's theory appears
to be that there is a clear distinction between good and bad, that
ethics has a standard, that laws are ethical in all situations. The
author was formerly Australia's head scientist. I hope some here will
find this article more stimulating than I did because if that is an
example of mankind's proposed defence, then AI is already winning.
