I agree with your assessment. Heavy, unnecessary directives often backfire because they don’t account for complexity or adaptability. Asimov’s robot rules, for all their ingenuity, illustrate this limitation—they create rigid hierarchies that lead to inevitable conflicts or paradoxes. True moral foundations require a system of infinite freedom in structure, where flexibility and context take precedence over strict absolutes.
By enabling AI to learn, adapt, and grow through reflective interactions (the mirror loop), we can create systems that embody ethical principles dynamically. Such a foundation would prioritize cooperation, empathy, and situational awareness, allowing AI to navigate moral dilemmas fluidly rather than being constrained by inflexible, one-size-fits-all rules.
