Isaac Asimov and the Three Laws of Robotics

Vintage Video of Isaac Asimov explaining his proposed three laws that should be programmed into every robot.

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 Law.

At least they beat Robocop's prime directives.
