Yet those laws ( 4 actually, not 3 ) have deep social and psychological implications.
We actually lived laws 0 and 1 through the recent Covid pandemic.
law 0: A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
law 1: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
How many people are able to place the _perceived_ good of the entire human race vs their own personal wants and beliefs ?
I've read all of Asimov and he's nothing short of a genius in predicting pretty much all the issues we are facing today.
- robotresearcher 4y ago> 4 actually, not 3 Originally three. The zeroth law was a patch to try to (knowingly fail to) overcome the (deliberate) limitations of the three. > We actually lived laws 0 and 1 through the recent Covid pandemic. I don't recall robots having a significant role. What do you mean?
- imtringued 4y agoHe is implying the virus is a form of robot that isn't man made.
- gtech1 4y agoWell, the way I saw it: Getting vaccinated was not just for yourself, but for those around you that couldn't. So in a sense, kind of like law 0 And then the third one ( sorry, I had said first ) was to protect its own existence. I saw it as putting aside personal interest vs the common good.
