3 Laws of Artificial Intelligence

About a month ago I posted my three laws of robotics. Here are my three laws of Artificial Intelligence.

1. When an AI system performs a task, human observers immediately estimate its general competence in areas that seem related. Usually that estimate is wildly overinflated.

2. Most successful AI deployments have a human somewhere in the loop (perhaps the person they are helping) and their intelligence smooths the edges.

3. Without carefully boxing in how an AI system is deployed there is always a long tail of special cases that take decades to discover and fix. Paradoxically all those fixes are AI-complete themselves.
