Not gonna address the article but are Asimovs Three Laws as solid in practice as they are on paper? I mean to a layman they sound good and rely on stacking to the first law of "don't hurt humans" but from a mechanical standpoint are they really as foolproof as they're made out to be?

There is zero mechanism to make such a thing foolproof.

That is a central topic explored in Asimov's works, dude didn't just write them down to fix a problem, he wanted to write about them, and other authors did too. They are good rules generally, but hardly foolproof. The "I, Robot" movie is one example of negative outcomes they could lead to.

No because AI doesn't exist.
