Nightmare fuel? Maybe – but in a historic moment for the dental profession, an AI-controlled autonomous robot has performed an entire procedure on a human patient for the first time, about eight times faster than a human dentist could do it.

Asimov’s laws of robotics only work when the robot knows what “harm” is. The shitty LLMs today we call “AI” are nowhere close to be trusted with an answer to “is it safe to eat this mushroom?” let alone with putting a 200000 RPM drill in their hands then let them operate on a human. It’s utterly irresponsible to give dangerous jobs to robots this soon in their development. But hey, quick profits in a PR bubble.
Later edit: All of you are right. In retrospective, my comment was stupid and doesn’t make sense in the context. The robot in question isn’t based on LLM (of course it isn’t) and isn’t general AI either, so the issue of “don’t do harm” doesn’t apply.
I’m fairly certain the machine isn’t controlled by LLMs. What would make you think that?
I’m now questioning if it is. It shouldn’t be but we’ve scene some silly tech blunders.
I mean robots fly our planes, drive our cars and run critical health devices to keep folk alive and sooooo much more that I am probably not aware of…it already happened the time to raise the alarm was a couple decades ago
