Asimov’s most famous work is the
“___.” While
these laws seem to control
technology, Asimov used them to
explore its unintended
consequences and how humanity
might address them.
Three Laws of Robotics
Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics
Law 1: A robot must not harm a human or let a human
come to harm.
Law 2: A robot must obey orders unless it conflicts
with law 1
Law 3: A robot must protect itself unless this
conflicts with Law 1 or 2
