Surely a 200 volume set of international law would be a cakewalk for an AGI.
It seems like an applause light to invoke international law as a solution to almost anything, particularly this problem. What aspect of having rules made in a compromise of politicing makes it less likely to have exploitable loopholes than any other system?
If they are not legal, the AI must consider other actions or suffer the wrath of law enforcement (from fines to rehabilitation).
Fines? The misdoing we’re worried about is seizing power. Fines would require power sufficient to punish an AI after its misdoings, and have nothing to do with programming it not to be harmful.
AIs could even refer to the appropriate corpus when traveling in different jurisdictions (e.g., Western Law, Islamic Law, Chinese Law)
Somehow I do’t think the solution to the problem of having powerful AIs that don’t care about us (for better or worse) is to teach them Islamic law.
