‘1 A robot must not harm a human. And it must not allow a human to be harmed. 2 A robot must obey a human's order, unless that order conflicts with the First Law. 3 A robot must protect itself, unless this protection conflicts with the First or Second Laws Handbook of Robotics, 2058 A.D.’
Isaac Asimov's classic collection of stories about a society where humans and robots live and work together on earth and in outer space, is both disturbing and prophetic.
