    For those of you interested - Asimov's three laws don't quite work.

    The singularitarians will disagree with you. It is dangerous not to develop technology that will protect you from other technologies. Namely, only sophisticated technology will protect you: otherwise you're a sitting duck.

    This is the goal of the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence. The Singularity is the technological creation of smarter-than-human intelligence.

    They have a few relevant pieces of material, such as FRIENDLY AI and 3 Laws Unsafe.

    An interesting deeper analysis of why hard-coded rules are unsafe in any thinking machine can be found at 3 Laws Unsafe.

    Yes, that's the work. I mention the Zeroth law mostly in reference to these folks who were mentioned in the article and who, from reading articles on their website, appear to have ignored it.

    The flyer that 3 Unsafe Laws wants you to download and hand around is a .doc file :( While they're harping about ethics and artificial life forms, someoneone should explain viruses to these people :)

  10. Improvements to Flyer? by FleaPlus · · Score: 1 · on I, Robot Hits the Theaters

    I was thinking of passing out their flyer just for the heck of it (I'm a bit of a singularity fan), but they really need to make it more "shiny." If you want people to take a flyer from you, you need to have at least some sort of picture on it. A little more detail on the issues they examine might also be good.

    And why doesn't it mention that they have an article by Greg Bear?!? (a fairly well-known sci-fi author)

    Anybody feel like making some additions to their doc file and posting it here? I don't really have time myself at the moment...

  13. Re:3 Laws Unsafe. by Alizarin+Erythrosin · · Score: 2, Informative · on I, Robot Hits the Theaters

    Did you even look around the site? On their front page it even says, right at the top:

    Is it possible to create ethical AI based on the Three Laws? Is it ethical to create ethical AI based on the Three Laws? What other solutions have been proposed for the problem? These questions are explored in our Articles Section. The articles give perspective on why the field of AI ethics is crucial, and why Asimov's Laws are simply its beginning.

    And here's a direct link right to the articles! Wow! Reading is fun!

  14. 4 laws by prgrmr · · Score: 2, Funny · on I, Robot Hits the Theaters

    There seems to be some deliberate avoidance at the mention, let alone consideration to and inclusion thereof, of what Asimov called "The Zeroth law". There also appears to be a complete glossing-over of the fact that Asmov's robots had the laws hard-wired in their brains, especially by the folks at asimovlaws.com. Not that hard-wiring is the ultimate solution, but does make reprogramming a bit more of a challenge.
