ASIMOV LAWS

Isaac Asimov, in his science fiction novels.

First law: A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Second law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders conflict with the first law.

Third law: A robot must protect its existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law.
Asimov added a fourth, or Zeroth, Law in Robots and Empire (1985):

Zeroth law: A robot may not injure humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
