It turns out there are laws governing just about everything. Here is the accepted ‘Three Laws of Robotics‘, otherwise known as Asimov’s laws.

• 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.

So far, so good.
