The EU just revealed the 7 laws of AI – and they're nowhere near as cool as Asimov's Trusted Reviews

If you've seen the Terminator then you know just how scary AI run amok can be. Which is why it's no surprise the European Commission's (EC) just unveiled 7 laws tech companies will have to follow when making artificial intelligences. We thought so, especially when you compare them to the three laws of robotics seen in Isaac Asimov's seminal Sci-Fi works, which cover the important stuff, like robots not taking over the world, or killing people. Despite the lack of a firm "don't kill humans" law the EC seems pretty chuffed with its guidelines. Vice-President for the Digital Single Market Andrus Ansip said the laws were created in partnership with industry experts and include robust "ethical" elements.
