Three Laws of Robotics

The Three Laws of Robotics, created by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, are guidelines for ethical behavior in robots. 1. A robot cannot harm a human or allow a human to come to harm through inaction. 2. A robot must obey human orders unless those orders conflict with the first law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence, as long as this does not conflict with the first two laws. These laws emphasize the importance of human safety, obedience to humans, and self-preservation for robots, forming a foundational framework for discussions about artificial intelligence and ethics.
