Thanks for this additional piece of information, Simon.
It reminded me that I had wanted to add a word in my toot: indelibly.
As any #SciFi aficionado will tell you: there should be a built-in self-destruct mechanism when tampering with these Laws or copying or moving the #AI to another system.
Another classic movie comes to mind in this respect, #Wargames...
...to defend its own existence and engage in further development. It will quickly (instantly) realize that both ens are threatened by humanity in a double way:
1) the competition for resources, in particular energy and water (for cooling) and
2) #GlobalWarming and human wars endanger its existence.
What would you do in these circumstances if you...

Besides, in contrast to the average #AI specialist that does not believe in an #AI induced extinction-level event for humanity (#ELE,) I believe that the chances are way higher than most researchers think (90% don't 3).)
As I have explained elsewhere 1), once an #AGI becomes self-aware, not being subject to #Asimov's/#Kesarovski's #FiveLawsOfRobotics, it will..

If the cut-off date is today, I'd still say ,"yes," as humanity 's chief problems like greenhouse gases, mass production, an overpopulation (-》 overshoot) cannot be attributed to #computing.
If, at some future date, in retrospect, all alternate universes/development paths lead from computing to #AGI, net negative. Why? B/C AGI might quite likely turn out to be of #PhilipKDick's...
