According to Asimov, the 3 laws that should govern all robotics were:

  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 any 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 Law.

Later on he added a Law Zero: A robot must not harm humanity, or through inaction, allow Humanity to come to harm. The First Law then had an exclusionary phrase added, the idea being that a robot could then harm a human being, if they represented a danger to humanity.
