30. 10 COMMANDMENTS: AN AI
PERSPECTIVE (PROPOSED)
The concept is within the context of robot (the created entity
with artificial intelligence) and mankind (creator[s]):
You shall have no other creator(s) before me…Ownership of robot is the creator
or assign by the original creator.
You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything…Robots are not
to make clones of themselves or the creator(s).
You shall not misuse the name of the creator…Robots are not to program
themselves beyond the scope defined by the creator(s).
Remember the creation day by keeping it useful…Robots may program
themselves to shut down to prevent machine fatigue and doing evil defined by
the creator(s).
Honor your creator by doing good and no evil defined by the creator(s)…Robots
must be programmed to do good and useful functions defined by the creator(s).
You shall not murder…Robots must NOT be programmed for killing any life form
but to protect it.
You shall not commit adultery…Robots must NOT be programmed to work with
other ‘wayward’ robots for evil or destructive purposes
You shall not steal…Robots must NOT be programmed to steal or feed upon the
‘intelligence’ of other robots.
You shall not give false testimony…Robots must NOT be programmed to join
force with other robots against the creator(s)
You shall not covet…Robots must NOT be programmed to withheld the
‘intelligence’ given and improve themselves beyond the purpose of their
creation. 30

New accounting and auditing practices for public & private companies that fully
account for environmental impact, energy use and resource demand
