The Ethics of Robotics

Asimov imagined that intelligent robots would have gofai like mental processes proceeding from raw stimuli to internal states to motor outputs using live meatc and logic calculus. The reader may be left wondering whether the issue could be debugged by simply adding one more law or closing a loophole something asimov himself undertook on several occasions over the years. A combination of an unusual situation and apparently sound yet counter intuitively reasoning based on the laws leads a hyper rational robot to do something surprising and not necessarily in a good way.
