Asimov’s 3 rules of robotics pretty much tell the story of
how humans feel about robots. Which is obviously that they are all going to
eventually try to take over the Earth, and kill us all. The laws are centered on
the security of humans. However, I feel that it contradicts itself. The laws
discuss that the robots should protect their own existence, but when doing that
I would assume that we are saying that the robots have some kind of rights. It
does not make sense to only have to right to exist, but it should have the right
to be free from basically human enslavement. Also, what are the robots going to
be protecting themselves from other than humans? Other robots? If so then do
robots have an unwritten code of ethics that they abide by? I do not see how
that is possible because they do not have a sense of like the “robot race” like
we do the human race. So how do we expect them to protect their existence, if
they really do not have anyone to protect it from? If it were the case that
robots were protecting themselves from the danger of another robot, should we
be concerned about humans getting caught in the crossfire of the soon to come
robot war? I also think that as technology advances the 3 rules will become
obsolete because our relationships with robots will change. We will have robots
so intelligent that they will now longer pose any threat to us. Also, after we
become more used to them we will have different feelings for them. Although our
generation was born into modern technology, the next generation will be born
into even more advanced technology. So they will not have the same reservations
that our predecessors or that we have about living our lives with them. They
will start off as commodities that only maybe people with thousands of dollars
to spend on a robot will have. Eventually they will become like any other
everyday technology that we have. They will be readily available at prices that
average people will be able to afford. Asimov’s 3 laws will have to be revised
or just become obsolete because that society will not feel that robots are anything
that we have to be afraid of because they are literally only invented to help
us.
