Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics


Laws of robotics are a set of laws, rules, or principles that are intended as a fundamental framework to underpin the behavior of robots designed to have a degree of autonomy.

Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics

  1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
  2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
  3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
