Chinese robot flips out and attacks engineers during testing.

This is making me question the wisdom of AI running the world.

1. Just like self driving cars all of a sudden going crazy.

2. Maybe AI robot designers ought to include Asimov's Three

Laws of Robotics into each AI robot’s programming.

3. OK..what are they?

Got me going...

[Vogon_Glory]

4. Here they are

(1) A robot may not kill or injure a human being.

(2). A robot must obey an order given it by a human being.

(3). A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such self-protection does not conflict with the first and second laws.

FYI Isaac Asimov wrote a lot of robot novels and stories, mostly before the personal computer became a thing.

5. The Chinese robot obviously did NOT get the memo!

6. There is a Fourth Law of Robotics

Asimov added a Fourth Law of Robotics in his Robots and Empire novel as part of the continuation of his Foundation novels. The Fourth Law is:

A robot cannot cause harm to mankind or, by inaction, allow mankind to come to harm.

8. Asimov's laws of robotics are insufficient.

It automatically assumes that the hardware & software is perfectly designed & build, and that it can't ever have a malfunction.

7. by your command.

9. We saw that in the first two RoboCop movies

In the first one, ED-209 shot the hell out of Mr. Kinney during Dick Jones' demonstration...and in the second, when Dr. Faxx built several new RoboCops out of dead cops, the first one blew away two engineers before it committed suicide.

10. Dang! They're messing with the wrong bot 🤖

11. China demonstrates its technological superiority by creating a robot that can do the Bernie Dance.
