>He calls for a moritorium until we can get a neural net to learn Asimov's 1st Law. Consider the worst things that governments will do to get an advantage. I mean the downright most inhumane things they have actually done. Now given this, what chance is there that they will respect a moratorium on research. If violating basic human rights for a small advantage is part of their MO, then it would be foolish to think that a lesser breach of ethical obligations for a greater advantage would not happen. All we would achieve by a moratorium is a slight slow down in how soon governments access this technology while locking the technology away from access by the general public. That said, the ability for government militaries to become autonomous and not made up of individuals who have at least some chance of resisting the worst orders is a very scary notion. We may be approaching the next Great Filter.
