Who wrote the three laws of a robot?

• A. Bill Gates
• B. Steve Jobs
• C. Wendelin Reich
• D. Isaac Asimov

Answer: (D)

Isaac Asimov wrote the three laws of robotics. He introduced them in his science fiction to explore how rules guide machine behavior and the kinds of dilemmas that can arise when those rules interact. The first law says a robot may not injure a human or allow a human to come to harm through inaction. The second law requires a robot to obey human commands unless doing so would conflict with the first law. The third law obliges a robot to protect its own existence as long as that protection doesn’t conflict with the first two laws. These ideas appear throughout his Robot series, especially in I, Robot, and they've colored how people think about AI safety, even though they’re fictional and not a real-world standard.
