effectively an infinite amount - which precludes any robot ever acting. Second is the implication that harm is black and white. The probability of harm is rarely either 100% or 0%. There is a huge body of relevant neuropsychological literature on moral judgements (the child on the train tracks, the fat man on the bridge, etc.) It turns out that our behavior is generally rationally justified AFTER the act, which is often NOT rational. There are several other problems (and this is OR, in the sense that I've not seen it in print (although extremely unlikely to actually be original!)). What is meant by "harm"? What is the meaning of "human being"? What is the definition of "humanity"? EG. Would a robot force you to eat exactly what is "best" for you? Would it take away your car keys and make you walk to the store for exercise? (I forget who wrote the series about the robots occupying the galaxy(?)and becoming our caretakers until we 'matured' enough to make 'better' choices.) There is harm to our cells, harm to our organs, harm to our bodies, harm to our minds, harm to our careers... If you were tired would a robot steal you some amphetamine? Would a robot tell a child that Santa Claus doesn't exist? (That your wife is cheating on you?) The idea of "harm" requires a clear model of what a "healthy" state requires. It conflicts with free will. A person ages and develops, is this "harm"? Is education/learning potentially harmful? (imho, yes - as well as beneficial). As far as "humanity", would/should a robot prevent reproduction by people carrying the sickle cell gene? (Which is harmful in many circumstances but imparts protection from malaria.) Same thing with robot harming itself. For most machines, movement (as well as use of electronic circuitry) erodes, wears, and ages the mechanism. How does a robot protect itself? And finally, how likely is it that "orders" can be comprehensive enough so that compliance is feasible? It requires not just a theory of mind, but a very accurate model of what the person means. Just my two cents.

be appropriate to go through the entire article carefully. I still feel that the more appropriate approach would be to scrap this article and start again from scratch. I think the framework and focus of the article is grounded in OR, and encourages editors to join in with opinion and speculation based on personal observation and knowledge. What is required is appropriate reliable sources which significantly discuss the Three Laws. Comments based on editorial observation of various novels, and making comparisons between them is OR, and is to be avoided.

got squashed?". A few days later a burglar comes to your home and tries to break in. The robot sees him and sits there while the burglar bashes its positronic brain in and then steals all your stuff. The next morning you go to your bank and find that the same burglar decided to break into the bank where he bashed in the brains of all the robots and walked off with all your gold bullion. You say to yourself "Wow - I wish the robots had tried to protect themselves by running away and alerting me, the police or someone"
227: 609: 658: 637: 1672:, it is a pretty safe bet that mutual inconsistencies and unexpected outcomes were the point of these Laws: with a manufacturer trying to bake safeguards into these machines, and unusual circumstances causing matters to go all haywire. What is ironic though, is that Asimov explains at length how he wanted to wean us off the so-called Frankenstein complex and then goes on to write stories that ultimately corroborate just such fears. 250: 523: 499: 668: 533: 760: 742: 379: 946:(Moved from my talkpage:) When you reviewed the article there were several areas where you thought that OR was prevalent. Is there any chance you could take a quick look and tell me whether or not you think those areas have been addressed? My intention is to put it up for GAN again in the next 4 weeks so would appreciate your input in particular. Thanks 981:
Having dipped into a few sections in the article I found some statements which are not securely cited. I tidied a few statements, and have tagged a few others as examples. This was fairly random and should not be seen as comprehensive. Sorting out the statements tagged may not be enough, and it would

It's been a very long time since I saw that particular episode of Superman, but I'm like 99% certain it was *not* acting of its own volition, and was instead remotely controlled by a human villain.

So you buy a robot to protect your bank and one to help around your house. You come home and find the robot in the garden on the ground sparking all over from where it was hit by a falling tree while weeding. You pay £1000 to get it fixed thinking "stupid robot - why did it just stand there while it

I have seen references to Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics in AI (academic) literature. My understanding is that the Laws have fundamental problems which should be addressed in this article. The most obvious, from a practical pov, is that each of them require a huge body of data and computation -
923:
exactly, it will be a long time before there is AI that is capable of understanding these laws the way us humans do. till then, everybody can muck about with simulacra of their own choosing. which may be interesting, in the way any other pastime is interesting. whoever wrote the blurb wanted to
1639:
correct, except in your assertion that this was "before the advent of digital general-purpose computing" - a more pertinent question would be how much A knew about both the theory and the state-of-the-art when he first formulated the laws.
1065:
Very good Knowledge editorial cabal: You've replaced Asimov's own words with your own inaccurate paraphrase of them, in addition to removing the French words that provide the evidence for your claim. Well done. Just what I would expect.
868:
yep, and ditto for newton's three laws. but the thermodyamics analogy is deepened by Asimov later on (both later on in his writing career but more importantly also "later on" in the in-universe sense) adding in a zeroth law.

Or just consider aliens different from humans. I think these rules are quite human-centric and apparently the robots are allowed to wipe out any other civilizations they might come across.

you have placed a {{cn}} on "Before Asimov began writing, the majority of artificial intelligence in fiction followed the Frankenstein pattern, one that Asimov found unbearably tedious:"

I think this should be included here, or elsewhere? Or is it already included somewhere? I am not qualified enough at the time with the topic, but I may try to add this later. --

LOL! As of 2014, there is no (known) robot capable of higher (abstract) thought. That is, there is no platform on which implementation of these "Laws" is possible.
