Three Laws is a blog devoted to artificial intelligence, robots, and the law (and other interesting and related issues). As you can probably infer, the blog name refers to Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics:
- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
-
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Asimov introduced the laws in his 1942 short story "Runaround."
Later, he introduced an earliest (zeroth) law: 0. A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
In future posts, I'll bring news of the interactions of the law and robotics, AI, and technology, and of the uses of robots and AI and how the law and society are interacting with them.
