"A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."

Surely thats up to the robot?

We have similar laws for us, and plenty of people still get hurt.

(Thats a fucking cool picture by the way....)

Yeh man.

Its the first of Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics, that he laid down in I Robot:

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.


Fuck yeah. I love being a geek.


PS. Sampled this for a tune recently...
