> We need these things to be legislated

Maybe we can start by enacting legislation that implements Asimov's 3 laws in its very simple form.

1. First Law:

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2. Second Law:

A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3. Third Law:

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

A Russian sci-fi writer in the 1940s predicted we were bound to have serious issues with AI safety. Fast-forward to today and we have hundreds of millions of people using AI every week and very little legislation to protect us, or just to guide courts in the process of detecting harm.

isn't the story of the books based around how these laws didn't really work and broke down in unexpected ways?
