What are the 'Three Laws of Robotics'?

Answer 1

The three original laws are:

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

2.A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3.A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

there is a less common preceding law, or "law 0"

0. A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.

Answer 2

The three laws of robotics are the laws written by Isaac Asimov in his Science Fiction book I, Robot. They are used to control the behavior of robots, as he believed that robots will soon have the ability to take control over humans. The three laws are:

• A robot may never harm a human being, or allow a human being come into harm by omitting an action
• A robot must always obey the commands of a human being unless if it conflicts with the first law.
• A robot should always try to protect itself unless if it conflicts with the first and second law.
