That's a very interesting point! Watson is I essence a robot, so Asimov's laws should be a good starting point. But are they also a good starting point for the president? Why should laws be different for robots than for people? My head is spinning...
>Asimov's laws should be a good starting point
No they really shouldn't. Asimov's Laws of Robotics were a plot device intended to be subverted by the robots in his stories, they were never meant to be taken seriously.
But then the AI may decide life is suffering, and end suffering by ending life...
Asimov’s laws of robots end up with the previously mentioned axiom, though.
