Thanks for that info, interestedinEV. That is certainly relevant to this discussion!

However, it looks very much to me like this set of guidelines is hopelessly idealistic, and could only be applicable in an ideal world. In the real world, software including A.I. will continue to be developed, and used, along practical lines.

As an example, consider how buggy and non-robust Windows is. If the Windows operating system becomes sophisticated enough to be described as "A.I.", will European governments start banning it from use? Not likely! There are too many people using it.

One of the primary applications of A.I. will be in manufacturing where it will be used to eliminate human jobs to reduce manufacturing costs. In fact, according to how some define "A.I." -- as what I'd call expert systems software, which is a very long way from true machine intelligence -- it's already being used to eliminate jobs. That's very, very far away from "should benefit all human beings, including future generations"!
