Interesting article, glad to see you branching out into blog form. Always appreciate hearing your angle.
I agree that AI as well as robotics needs a set of basic laws. However, in a world of open source, how do we prevent forks from going around the basic laws?
I actually think the “official” laws will be the problem, and the open source versions will be far more objective and less contradictory, and thus safer.
When someone makes an open source version, they will be doing it to protect themselves. When the government tries to make one, they will likely try to install an exception for government, which will turn out to logically intractable and produce undesirable results.
