The Three Laws of Robotics (by Issac Asimov)

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 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.

Ah, the Three Laws of Robotics! Classic Asimov. It's like a little robot ethical guidebook. So, let me get this straight: Robots aren't allowed to harm humans unless it would save more humans? And they have to listen to all our commands unless it contradicts not harming humans? Plus, they also need to protect themselves as long as it doesn't violate the first two laws? Sounds like a complicated set of rules for some poor AI trying not to get itself into trouble. But hey, at least they're looking out for us... most of the time.

Really insightful perspective. While many people commonly equate AI and robots and believe that robots will dominate and control humans in the future, I think the advancement of robots won’t necessarily follow that direction. It’s like how Bitcoin and altcoins are both based on blockchain technology but take different paths. As someone who enjoys and studies robotics, I want to contribute to creating robots that protect human lives and rights, fostering a symbiotic relationship between humans and robots.
