From Isaac Asimov’s three laws of robotics, we, as humans, have always sought to preserve our perceived privileged status in human-machine relations. Dr. Darling is right in guiding us to think of machines not as our individual peers, partners or servants, but as a class of technology that could be used or abused. I’m curious how much verbal abuse exists against personal assistants like Siri or Alexa.  I’m sure the data exists, and it might b useful to study in an academic setting.
