Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has 10 commandments for how AI and humans should act

The robot revolution is coming, and people like Elon Musk and prominent scientists are concerned about what this could portend for humanity. They have suggested that we carefully think through what it would mean to live with artificial sentiences that could easily outstrip our own intelligences, and whether it's really worth bringing them into the world to make our chat apps a little better. As part of a lengthy June 28 op-ed for Slate on the future of AI, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella outlined six imperatives for artificial intelligence, and four things that humans must impart into AI systems they build. A quick summary of Nadella's beliefs--10 commandments, if you will--regarding how AIs and humans must act in our shared future: Nadella's op-ed references science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov's often-cited three laws of robotics, which essentially state that robots should not harm humans. Nadella takes this slightly further in suggesting their programs should be designed so that they're actively helping people.
