Will AI take your Job?

So, the big question is: will AI take your job? What can you do about it? First of all, we must look at the fear of AI.

In his iconic novel ‘iRobot’, Isaac Asimov came up with guidelines that have stood the test of time. These are popularly known as Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics.

1. The first law is that a robot shall not harm a human or, by inaction, allow a human to come to harm.
2. The second law is that a robot shall obey any instruction given to it by a human.
3. The third law is that a robot shall avoid actions or situations that could cause it to come to harm itself.

Now, if there’s ever a kerfuffle where these laws get into a bit of a headlock with each other, the First Law takes the throne. Humans come. First, no questions asked. (Sorry, bots!) Then, the Second Law gets its moment in the sun after us. And lastly, our shiny metal buddies get to look out for themselves.

Fiction doesn’t have a monopoly on everything ethical in the tech world. The Vector AI Research Institute has been hard at work adding its own mix to the pot:

1. AI should benefit humans and the planet.
2. AI systems should be designed to reflect democratic values.
3. AI systems must reflect the privacy and security interests of individuals.
