Reply to comment by Trout_Shark in Would a corporation realistically release an AGI to the public? by Shiningc

Yeah, the invention of AGI is often referred to in science fiction as the technical singularity, because the speed of AI makes the future beyond that point literally unknowable. If we can keep it from killing us, it should advance our technologies at a tremendous rate.

Implementing something like Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" should be a major priority. The singularity is of course a major concern. Anything that can learn at an exponential rate is going be difficult to keep under control for long.

I agree with the sentiment, but a lot of work has gone into this since those 3 laws. Its still an unsolved problem.

The three laws don't really work, though; on multiple levels. They're far too simplistic and ambiguous, and effectively impossible to implement in a way that AI could consistently follow.
