I think without visiting the root of the site many people are afraid these are ground rules for strong AI development as an open source project. If that were the case with Google's backing I would be more than apprehensive. We all know strong AI wouldn't be some sort of robot running around shooting people like a movie, this would be an extinction event worse than a rather large asteroid if it fell into the wrong hands. The first country or corporation to create strong AI capable of self evolution will either be able to immediately take control of the world as we know it, or worse create something capable of destroying humanity as we know it. That's not what's going on at all for anyone else that at first glance though that (I'll admit I am guilty of thinking that after glancing at the article as well). Goal 1: Measure our progress Goal 2: Build a household robot Goal 3: Build an agent with useful natural language understanding Goal 4: Solve a wide variety of games using a single agent That's all they are trying to accomplish with this (so far anyway). None of which requires strong AI. TLDR they are formulating some laws of robotics that are a bit more granular for dumb AI which are incapable of self improvement and very task oriented.
