These are the 3 laws.
- A robot must not harm humans, or, via inaction, allow a human to come to harm.
- Robots must obey orders given to them by humans, unless an order would violate the first law.
- Finally, a robot must protect its own existence, as long as doing so would not put it into conflict with the other two laws.
I've seen ZERO discussion about this around ChatGPT in any of its forms. Wouldn't it be simple to say these laws are required in all programming? I get a feeling the WEF, WHO, Council on Foreign Relations, etc. do not want that codified or it would be done already. It would be simple to set rules and declare it a living document where the rules could be voted on and changed over time. You know, like banking rules are.
Software can do harm, as well. From memory, I can tell you that one of the short stories in Asimove's Robot collection, called "Liar!" showed that psychological harm was, indeed, considered to be the harm. It did not have to be physical.
