ASIMOV’S LAWS OF ROBOTICS

Originally there were only three laws.  At some time in the distant past a Zero law was added.  When these laws speak of humanity or a human being the robot’s creator race is implied.  Hence, an AAI created by a lashunta and governed by Asimov’s Law of Robotics could intentionally harm a human but not a lashunta.

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 Law.
