Google's DeepMind Pens 'Robot Constitution' to Govern Helper Robots

Google's DeepMind , Pens 'Robot Constitution' , to Govern Helper Robots.

On January 4, Google announced a set of rules meant to govern the artificial intelligence system behind the company's intelligent machines.

Gizmodo reports that the so-called 'Robot Constitution' is based on Isaac Asimov's 'Three Laws of Robotics.'.

Before robots can be integrated into our everyday lives, they need to be developed responsibly with robust research demonstrating their real-world safety, Google DeepMind robotics team, via blog post.

The 'Robot Constitution' was written by Google's DeepMind, the tech company's primary AI research wing.

Google reportedly has plans for intelligent robots to soon help around homes and offices in the near future.

These robotic helpers would run on a system of large language models (LLMs) and neural networks that would allow them to make decisions and be aware of their surroundings.

Google says the 'Robot Constitution' is meant to act as part of a system of "layered safety protocols" which govern the machines that have already been deployed on the company's campus.

DeepMind has currently deployed 52 unique robots that have performed 6,650 different tasks over the course of 77,000 robotic trials.

Google's robot assistants are not allowed to accept tasks that involve humans, animals, sharp objects or electrical appliances.

Gizmodo reports that the machines currently being tested by Google have only operated under the watchful eye of a human supervisor holding a physical kill switch.
