We may not be at the point we need Laws of Robotics yet, but we’re reaching the point where we need some laws for living with AI.

I’m not an AI doomsayer (at least, not yet). AI will solve problems that would take us hundreds of years (like finding new medicines or gene sequences), and it will free up time for humans to be creative and together.

But alongside AI, we need laws to live with it without losing the essence of creativity—it’s here to assist us, not to replace us:

1. Humans need AI-free spaces to continue to write and create. AI is trained on our content; if we stop creating, we’ll enter a death spiral with no new creativity. News reporting and creative writing need to continue AI-free.
2. We need to be able to distinguish between AI content and organic content. The internet has not solved this yet, but seems to be trying, like the new AI label on YouTube.
3. We need to be able to tell humans from bots, trolls, and disinformation. We’re failing at this, and even regressed from the verification accounts used to have. AI will make it worse.

These may not be laws. Let’s call them millennium problems that someone has to solve. We need these adopted as universal standards.
