- First,a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction,
allow a human being to come to harm. - Second,a robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- Third,a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
- The above laws are referred to as the “Three Laws of Robotics.”
These laws set out an ethical code for scientists engaged in the study and design of robots.
If these laws are not observed, robots can be used to harm humans.
If an evil scientist set out to create a robot to injure or kill humans, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Robots should be created to protect us from danger and to disobey orders from other robots if intended to cause harm to humans.
