Google DeepMind has written a constitution to make AI-powered robots safer.
  • Robots that behave in your home while doing the chores might arrive sooner than you think.
  • Google DeepMind announced a set of new rules this week that aim to make AI-powered robots safer.
  • They seek to give robots a better grasp of objects, as well as clearer task instructions.

Google is betting that AI-powered robots will be indispensable to our domestic lives someday. They could organize our homes and figure out meal prep for the week. Maybe they'll even cook those meals for us, too.

The search giant knows, however, that this future will only emerge if the robots behave.
