The Three Laws of robotics

• First Law - A robot may not injure a human

being or, through inaction, allow a human
being to come to harm.
• Second Law - A robot must obey the orders
given it by human beings except where
such orders would conflict with the First
Law.
• Third Law - A robot must protect its own
existence as long as such protection does
not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
