I can't help but think that these
rules are a bit
outdated when I read them. Consider this: What is the real
consequence of the second law?
Slavery. In our
society, where we strive to give everyone
human rights, that law seems wrong to me. Especially when you take into account that
robots will presumedly someday be able to
reproduce, when they can be called a
race of their own. Imagine being an
intelligent robot. You would virtually be without
rights. Also, a
robot would be unable to
defend itself in the cause of a
human attacking it.
