Isaac Asimov had invented the 3 Laws of Robotics.
They seem to be a good choice of principles, but is it so?
There will inevitably be ethical debates about them.
The 3 laws imply total dominance of humans towards AI.
Is that a good thing? Wouldn't it one day be in our interest to treat robots made of AI as our equals rather than our slaves?
Ok, it seems difficult to argue AI will ever become self aware or conscious of its existence. But maybe what we call "consciousness" will differ when we discover what goes on in our brain. The more we know how it works, the less "consciouness" will keep its special place it has today.

Hello, Raoul.

As recent events have shown, man is still and may always will be capable of doing evil and harm to their fellow man.

[Although they were first proposed in the 1942, they are still regarded as a useful framework to follow. However, they are not official laws, and people have proposed creating robots that might violate them, such as robotic soldiers, or robots that would be expendable in hazardous conditions. The 3 laws help us ask ethical questions about the future of robotics.]

Asimov's laws are good, but only if applied 'universally' and adhered to. I don't believe that AI could ever achieve true, biological consciousness, but as with humans, if they make the wrong, premeditated choices, then they should be 'treated' just like the rest us: rehabilitated or decommissioned, depending on the 'crime'.

In Sci-Fi, remember Data's evil twin? HAL?
