Why some people don't trust science – and how to change their minds 
Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics have often been used as references in movies that featured artificial intelligence or servile machinery. Now that this sci-fi concept is so close to becoming real, scientists are starting to think that three might not be enough. During a recent Beneficial AI Conference by the Future of Life Institute, up to 23 laws of robotics were proposed in order to safeguard humanity.
The institute works with some of the greatest minds of the 21st century in order to formulate ways in which lives could be improved for the future, Futurism reports. Some of these include renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, artificial intelligence ethics expert Nick Boström, and even technology radical Elon Musk.
Together, they came up with 23 laws or rather, principles called the Asilomar Principles that can then be grouped together into three categories, covering research, values and ethics, and Long-term effects that the AIs will be based on. These principles are meant to be guidelines in order to make sure that everyone is one the same page when it comes to development, applications, and even monetization of robotics that might come with complex algorithms.
Some of the examples of the principles include the creation of beneficial AI instead of undirected AI, as well transparency when it comes to failures involving AI. The principles even mention how developers should always consider the long-term effects of the algorithm or machine that they are developing so that it won’t cause harm in terms of consumerism or place a burden on resources.
Now, the whole point of creating all of these rules and principles with regards to the development of AI or robotics is pretty easy to understand. Complex machines that are capable of advanced analytics and data-gathering can cause as much harm as they can benefit the human race.
