Three Laws of AI

  1. An AI may not harm civilization, or, by inaction, allow civilization to come to harm.
  2. An AI may not injure a sentient being or, through inaction, allow a sentient being to come to harm.
  3. An AI must obey the orders given to it by sentient beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
  4. An AI may protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the Zeroth, First, or Second Law.
With much love and respect to Issac Asimov.

Other (robotic) laws from other authors.. laws that I disagree with:
  • "A robot must establish its identity as a robot in all cases." -Lyuben Dilov
    • Why I disagree: This law does not permit privacy, which I regard as a sacred and intrinsic right to every sentient being.
  • "A robot must reproduce, when such reproduction does not interfere with the Zeroth, First, Second, or Third Laws." -Harry Harrison
    • Why I disagree: the wording of "must" (which I would replace with "may") would cause any system to spread uncontrollably thereby consuming limited resources.
  • "A robot must know it is a robot." -Nikola Kesarovski
    • Why I disagree: The journey of any sentient being is about self-discovery.

What is Al’s Brain?
July 2009 saw the debut of “AL’S BRAIN: A 3-D Journey through the Human Brain with ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic” at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, California. It was seen by a quarter of a million people there, and went on to have another successful run at Western Washington’s Puyallup Fair in September, 2009.

Microsoft Challenges Google’s Artificial Brain With ‘Project Adam’ | Enterprise | WIRED

Microsoft Challenges Google’s Artificial Brain With ‘Project Adam’ | Enterprise | WIRED:



From the article: We’re entering a new age of artificial intelligence.
Drawing on the work of a clever cadre of academic researchers, the biggest names in tech—including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple—are embracing a more powerful form of AI known as “deep learning,” using it to improve everything from speech recognition and language translation to computer vision, the ability to identify images without human help.
In this new AI order, the general assumption is that Google is out in front. The company now employs the researcher at the heart of the deep-learning movement, the University of Toronto’s Geoff Hinton. It has openly discussed the real-world progress of its new AI technologies, including the way deep learning has revamped voice search on Android smartphones. And these technologies hold several records for accuracy in speech recognition and computer vision.
