“… ensuring that AI systems do what we want them to do, ideally within a sound ethical framework.” Yeah, just like gain of function research into viruses. I’m afraid the toothpaste is out of the tube.

I do wish that we had a way of hardwiring Asimov’s three laws of robotics into the developing AIs.

Asimov’s stories tend to be about how the three laws are insufficient…

In his later works, Foundation’s Edge for example, the robots are very humanlike – to the point of seeming to have emotions.

War Studies relative just back from Ukraine doing field research on drones in warfare. Very scary stuff already going on.

Umm, which sort of ethics are meant to guide AI alignment? The ones we deploy in animal agriculture, or the ones we appreciate in a university humanities course? Or the ones which emerged from the Enlightenment, minus the occasional slavery bit?
