Are Asimov's Laws flawed by design, or are they feasible in practice?
Asimov's laws are not strong enough to be used in practice. Strength isn't even a consideration, when considering that since they're written in English words would first have to be interpreted ...

Why is AI safety so much harder than Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics"?
The reason this is hard is because it is not trivial to understand what a law means. Many humans still have a hard time understanding laws and thus we have millions of judges and lawyers who study ...

Why does Stephen Hawking say "Artificial Intelligence will kill us all"?
As Andrew Ng said, worrying about such threat from AI is like worrying about of overpopulation on Mars. It is science fiction.

Why did a Tesla car mistake a truck with a bright sky?
Tesla's technology is assistive, as Alexey points out, so this is not a case of an autonomous system (e.g. an AGI) doing some fatal stunt (the product name AutoPilot is famously misleading). Now on ...

Why did a Tesla car mistake a truck with a bright sky?
As far as I know, Tesla cars autopilot is not a 100% AI pilot, it's an assitant: as it detects hands off wheel it slows down, so it's incorrect to speak about AI mistake: it is not trained/designed to ...
