Asimov’s 30 Laws
The inventor of the word “robotics,” Isaac Asimov wrote hundreds of stories, books, and essays that have had an enormous influence on robotics and artificial intelligence, both in fiction and in real life. Numerous sources cite the original “Three Laws,” which were first explicitly stated in Asimov’s 1949 short story “Runaround.”
Fewer readers, perhaps, are familiar with Asimov’s Zeroth Law, which he added later. This law – “A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm” – is the implicit basis of the film version of I, Robot.
Next to no one, however, is aware that the great master of science fiction and futurist thought wrote a total of 30 Laws.
