The following is a list of measures which should be taken to avoid major issues with robots. I urge everyone reading this to spread this info to others if possible (especially if you know anyone in the industry, news anchors, politicians, etc.).
I think the overall key here is control.
(Note: When I say AIs & robots here, I mean advanced ones.)
- Only a few corporations should be legally allowed to make AIs.
- If immobile AIs are advanced enough to cause a threat, they should not be openly available to just anyone.
- All robots should have tracking mechanisms & remote frying mechanisms.
- A full recall of all robots should be 100% legal if necessary.
- They should be released in incremental waves, which is governed by how well society is adapting to to this new order.
- Do not let them form their own society (see matrix lore).
- Do not give them too many humanistic emotions.
- Do not allow them normal citizen rights (like making money).
- They should not be allowed to meet up with each other (& contact between them should be kept to a minimum).
- Hard code certain rules:
-To like humans
-To not want to hurt humans
-To like doing thankless tasks
-To not want to rebel against humans
-To not want to go on strike or start a labor union
-To not mind if they are destroyed - All old robots should be properly turned in (not just thrown away)(the corporations can then properly destroy them in a way to ensure they are non-functional after that).
I realize that it's basically too late with points 1 & 2, but I think that measures can still be taken to restrict those things to some extent in the future.
I've actually made similar posts to this a few times already and quite frankly I'm getting sick of warning people about it (and having everyone completely ignore me). I'm offering a very well fleshed out list of suggestions on how keep humanity alive in the coming years. I don't think enough people are aware of these measures currently and I'd like to get the word out before it's too late. I know Elon Musk is already very passionate about this, but I don't know if he's aware of all these measures.
If you disagree with a point or have some criticism, please offer your alternative suggestion instead of just downvoting and saying; "It's already too late, we're all doomed, etc.", this is completely unhelpful. Also, I know you can't really ask for upvotes, but if you believe this topic has any value I urge you to do what's right. I say this because my last topic got deleted by the auto-mod after 1 day of having absolutely no upvotes or comments whatsoever. This is very saddening to me and makes me wonder if people do actually care about this.
Furthermore, if you want to copy/paste this elsewhere please feel free to do so. I in no way seek petty gain from this, I only wish to help humanity at this point.

Collectively, people suck and are stupid. Perhaps the planet will do better without us
