Didn't Elon musk and a few other pitch in on an airplane research team addressing this problem a year or so ago? I never heard what happened with that, but if he really plans this nearulink he talks about, he better get on top of it! It is an interesting question though! And I hadn't thought of block chains implications on ai! Thanks for sharing +1 follower!

Elon Musk? I'm not waiting for Elon Musk. The answer will be tested by researchers and yes the blockchain is an important component to the future of beneficial legitimate AI. Legitimate AI will be designed very different from illegitimate AI.
Legitimate AI would have to be designed with safety standards in mind, with best practices as the approach, and using standards frameworks. These standards frameworks can include ethical standards, and have localizations with regard to ethics and legal interaction. So yes an AI which must operate in a different culture should adopt the ethical standards and localization framework of that culture, and this can also include subcultures, which can include crypto-anarchists.
All cultures have social norms, all sub-cultures have social norms. AI can adopt the social norms of any culture, adopt the laws of any society, adopt the morals of any community or individual. There can be legitimate AI which is personalized, such as your personal bots which at the same time follow the ethics you would follow, and this can include following the law or breaking it depending on which decision is deemed the most ethical.
But it's in my opinion the AI in that case is an extended mind of the person rather than a true AI which is operating by itself. If it's operating in your interest then it's your intelligent agent, but at the same time if your intelligent agent is a criminal and broke a bunch of laws then you broke those laws and will be responsible. So for this reason I do not think agents can be used to get away from legal responsibilities.
For that reason I would promote legitimate AI, and think the better and smarter long term path is simply to have AI which can follow the law better than any human, while also being more ethical than any human, and still profit more than any person could. So winning could be defined as profiting as much as possible within the predefined rules (laws, community social norms, ethics, etc), just as a legitimate corporation would do. Functionally that is the path Google and Facebook are taking (follows the law, get rich, then change the laws).
Thanks for the response. I don't think Elon musk is taking so long as you think. But who knows. What you talking about goes in line with my favorite shows and subjects as of late. And I've always been a fan of Marvin minksy and ai research.
Then tv shows like humans, westworld, and black mirror. But I don't think I've seen in any of them robots picking up social norms and etc. That would be cool, so long as ethics ruled over some social norms. American drone strikes and crazy laws against women and etc in the east.. I hate to draw examples from the worst part of society, but what if this block chain AI robot were at the scene where those guys raped and killed that girl, but she was wearing provocative clothing so it was ok, it was the social norm.
This an interesting topic and I could talk to you all day about it. Feel free to message me in the steemit chat if you want to talk more, otherwise I look forward to your future posts!
