Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics: Any real-life relevance?

I am gainfully employed. The odds of a robot replacing me before I retire are astronomically low and not even worth considering. So, not really my problem. We are years and probably decades away from it becoming everybody's problem.

Does your boss know that a robot can't do your job? What if he gets suckered by an AI huckster and replaces you with a robot that barely does your job, but fucks up 90% of it?

What if you suddenly embraced AI technology and realized how preposterous your question was?

Said robot absolutely would fuck up everything. In your hypothetical scenario they would be calling me back to work the next day. AI isn't there yet and most likely won't be for a long time.

The question isn't what the AI can actually do, it's what the suits at your company can be conned into believing the AI can do. Most managers are pretty clueless about the minutia of what their reports do from day to day.

Fair enough. I can't answer that. But based on my personal experience, the owner doesn't even like to spend money getting necessary equipment, let alone new and unproven technology. Their software still runs on DOS for fuck's sake. I think I'm safe for the foreseeable future.
