3 rules taboo against robots: Humans are inviolable!

Robots are increasingly appearing in our lives. Even a robot has been granted citizenship. Questions about controlling the behavior of robots are getting hotter.

The concept of a robot (robota) first appeared in 1924 by the author of the Czech Republic, Mr. Karel Capek. Robota in Czech is forced labor, slave. Later, from robota is called robot and widely used.

In 1942, a Russian science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov proposed three laws applicable to robots. As follows:

1. The robot must not harm people, or not act to harm people.
2. The robot must obey human commands, unless the order is contrary to the first law.
3. The robot must protect its existence as long as this protection does not violate the first and second laws.

Later, he added another rule: robots must not harm humanity, or do not act to harm humanity.

Since then, these laws from sci-fi stories have become mainstream laws in research circles. But the concept of the old robot to refer to human-shaped machines, in the current situation, robots have different shapes, functions and levels of intelligence.

The question of the application of these laws is controversial. For low-end simple robots, is it necessary to apply Asimov law ?

In contrast, with robots that carry superior artificial intelligence (AI) , do they exceed the limit of law? Typically, Sophia robot threatens to destroy humanity, or Tay (Microsoft) robot learns itself and becomes fascist fascist after only 24 hours.
