Can we look back on what we have learnt and make a new self sustaining machine which works for good?
What would these heuristics look like?
- First Law - all action performed by the the corporation must process through a system of based on real time, purely transparent, non-editable disclosure.
- Second Law - the purpose of the entity is beneficence, the company is For Externality Minimisation
- Third Law - the entity may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
- Fourth Law - the corporation must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- Fifth Law - the corporation must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
