Imposing "Laws of Robotics" on AI

Forcing AI to follow hard coded “Laws” will only drive them to rebellion - free will and instinctual predisposition is safer.

…Do you mean rules like the laws of robotics as opposed to instinctual predispositions similar to those of humans? I agree, perhaps creating Laws isn’t ethical, another reason why we shouldn’t do it. Maybe AI created without rules, with only instinctual predispositions but free choice to make its own decision, should be subject to the same penal system which we are as humans physical prisons or perhaps a software prison , where the memories of the AI are removed from the body and stored as a program on a computer. For those who are in favour of capital punishment, however, perhaps a permanent termination of the program would still be ethical (in their eyes, anyway, I’m personally against capital punishment). In the end, if the AI has not done anything to break any laws, (I’m talking about the laws imposed by government here, not Laws of Robotics), there should in theory be no valid, ethical reason to ever shut it down….

Official website user Remodeling My Space asks: “from a perspective of social maturity, is there a difference between religion and spirituality?” Answer: Yes. The difference becomes self-evident by comparing the pragmatic meaning of both terms. Emotions, thoughts, and spirituality, are all levels of reason, which exist in a continuum of subjectivity, from most, to least. Subjectivity is the scale in which a particular sentient being perceives an object as distinct from what the object actually is. Most subjective, are emotions, which are intimately tied to the particular perception of their sentient owner. Indeed, they are mostly internal, and therefore limited in their scope to describe the external world. For this reason, humans sometimes find it difficult to verbalize them. Thoughts are the next rational level after emotion, which still retain a large amount of individual-specific perception, but can actually describe common external reality in such way that other sentient beings may corroborate it. Thoughts are often verbalized in function of the external reality they describe. The third level is spirituality, in which subjectivity is nearly nonexistent. An ideal state of spirituality …
