Surely any robot built by the U.S. government will be bound by Asimov's three laws of robotics.

- arakyd 17y agoFrom the RTI website, a presentation they supposedly gave to the Army War College Strategic Studies Institute in April: A code of moral behavior for intelligent robots will be developed. Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws are insufficient (especially for military).
- BrentRitterbeck 17y agoI understand that. My sarcasm was apparently a failed attempt at being somewhat humorous after a long week.

- philwelch 17y agoDavid Langford's Three Laws: 1. A robot will not harm authorized Government personnel but will terminate intruders with extreme prejudice. 2. A robot will obey the orders of authorized personnel except where such orders conflict with the Third Law. 3. A robot will guard its own existence with lethal antipersonnel weaponry, because a robot is bloody expensive. (Langford is an SF writer. You might know him from his "basilisk" stories--if not, go read them sometime.)
