Lawyers, being a risk averse lot, will likely be at the head of the line of folks who want to regulate, study, and worry about AI, AGI, and their progeny. My recent post about the intersection of ethics, science, law and philosophy, and their different perspectives on AI, is just the beginning of what I think will be decades of study about the coming maelstrom. Even if you don't believe that Terminators will come to destroy humanity, is it unreasonable to suggest that thinking, sentient bots won't look down on mere humans, even though we created them? Will we, and our fellow chickens, worship and obey our robot overlords?
