A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
Fans of Isaac Asimov will recognize his Three Laws of Robotics, first presented in his 1942 short story “Runaround” and popularized in the 1950 collection “I, Robot.” While they’re generally recognized as rules for robot interactions with humans, the third could apply to robot-to-robot encounters as well. Although “protect” implies aggression or physical contact, it could also pertain to ‘intelligent’ contact. But what about one robot attacking another emotionally, as humans do to each other so frequently? We may soon find out as a new robot developed at Columbia University has learned to predict another robot’s future actions in a way that s
more and more capable ie more and mora ton mora ton mouse. the computer watson is teaching itself. they have cableable of doing that. they learn faster than we can if they want. they work within very narrowly designed parameterparameters. we program them you must never harm a human being. it is the laws of robotics. that s what s going to protect us from anti social robots in the future. each one responds to the lab can t harm a human being you have to do what you are told, et cetera. unfortunately when we have already violated the first law in the way we design a lot of military systems. we want robots that are capable of carrying out complex military missions. so fine. does that mean they are going to pose a threat to the people that are operating them. not necessarily. it does mean this. as we ask them to do more and more things, as we design them
