Laws of Robotics
• Asimov proposed three “Laws of Robotics” and later added the “zeroth law”
• Law 0: A robot may not injure humanity or through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm
• Law 1: A robot may not injure a human being or through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, unless this would violate a higher order law
• Law 2: A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with a higher order law
• Law 3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with a higher order law
