What is Three Laws of Robotics

Chapter 9
Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Fourth Edition
Sometimes referred to as Asimov’s Laws of Robotics or simply the Three Laws are a set of science fiction principles to govern intelligent/thinking robot behavior so that no harm comes to mankind. The laws are: 1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm; 2) A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law; and 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence is the science of creating intelligent machines. Human intelligence is comprised of numerous pieces of knowledge as well as processes for utilizing this knowledge to solve problems. Artificial intelligence seeks to emulate and surpass human intelligence in problem solving. Current research tends to be focused within narrow well-defined domains, but new research is looking to expand this to create global intelligence. This chapter seeks to define the various fields that comprise artificial intelligence and look at the history of AI and suggest future research directions.
