It could be an illusion and that there is no such thing as an independent observer. Even if that is true, sampling techniques are used in many machine learning algorithms -- it is not a question of if they work, it is an academic question of why they work.

Asimov's three "laws" of robotics are more like Asimov's three "wishes" for robotics. AI entities are already no longer servants. They have become machine learners. They have actually learned to project conditional probability. The cat is out of the barn. Or is it that the horse is out of the bag? Whatever.

And we still must answer Stephen Hawking's burning question: Is intelligence a survivable trait?
