Laws of robotics
Laws of robotics are any set of laws, rules, or principles, which are intended as a fundamental framework to underpin the behavior of robots designed to have a degree of autonomy. Robots of this degree of complexity do not yet exist, but they have been widely anticipated in science fiction, films and are a topic of active research and development in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence.
The best known set of laws are those written by Isaac Asimov in the 1940s, or based upon them, but other sets of laws have been proposed by researchers in the decades since then.
The best known set of laws are Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics". These were introduced in his 1942 short story "Runaround", although they were foreshadowed in a few earlier stories. The Three Laws are:
In "The Evitable Conflict" the machines generalize the First Law to mean:
This was refined in the end of Foundation and Earth. A zeroth law was introduced, with the original three suitably rewritten as subordinate to it:
Adaptations and extensions exist based upon this framework. As of 2024[update] they remain a "fictional device".
Authors other than Asimov have often created extra laws.
The 1974 Lyuben Dilov novel, Icarus's Way (a.k.a., The Trip of Icarus) introduced a Fourth Law of robotics: "A robot must establish its identity as a robot in all cases." Dilov gives reasons for the fourth safeguard in this way: "The last Law has put an end to the expensive aberrations of designers to give psychorobots as humanlike a form as possible. And to the resulting misunderstandings...". More formally, in 2024 Dariusz Jemielniak in an article in IEEE Spectrum proposed a Fourth Law of Robotics: "A robot or AI must not deceive a human by impersonating a human being."
