The Three Laws of Robotics

Fictional set of rules by Isaac Asimov
Book • 1942
Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics are a set of rules devised to govern the behavior of robots in his science fiction stories.

These laws are designed to ensure that robots are safe and beneficial to humans.

The First Law states that a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

The Second Law dictates that a robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. The Third Law specifies that a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. These laws have become a foundational concept in the discussion of AI ethics and safety.
