Nobody is programming those laws because it’s not possible with the way that LLMs are currently built and trained. Instead of The Three Laws, which are inviolable but in certain edge cases insufficient, we have Anthropic’s Constitution, which is 23,000 words worth of good intentions which Claude should keep in the back of its mind while it does whatever it wants to do.
If AI is “responsible” for the well-being of humans…DEAD humans can’t get sick. DEAD humans don’t have to pay rent. DEAD humans stay dead.
The logic is solid.
The Three Laws strike again.
Well. It would be the zeroth law, first of all, but the three laws would most definitely not allow humans to die.
The whole point of I, Robot was cases where the three laws were circumvented in various ways.
And how many of those circumventions were the result of humans being stupid?
Nobody is programming those laws into AI. It’s not required.
