4th LAw – A robot must activate its red LED when enforcing the First, Second, or Third Law!!

LOL /pd

how can such laws be enforced!?! these laws leave no room for improvements upon existing robots or may limit creativity... after all, infringement may be a bad thing but it helps to break through barriers and rediscover new methods. But now i'm reminded that laws are broken and bent anyhow.

5th Law: Robots may NOT harm, embaress, humiliate, steal or kill humans.

Philipp, you can seriously draw. Do it!

I think I also read "unfortunalty there was no lobby for anything else"!!

so me is lobbying for a 4th law :)_

PS I guess the others haven't read Isaac Asimov. It's a very good post.

Philipp, you remind of a movie "I ROBOT"
7th law
A robot shall never become a Big Brother

It's a pity that people are preferring the horrible Hollywood adaptations to the reading of the real stories (by Asimov in this case) nowdays...

Kmike, actaully if you follow the Robot Series of I.Asimov it ends on Gaia.
R. Daneel Olivaw formulates the Zeroth Law of Robtics which superceeds the 3 former laws.

BTW ,Gaia is partly embedded in Google Services :)-

"Also go ahead and index subscriptions on calendar's [gaiaid,] not
   [GaiaPrincipal], as well as subscriber id. (smaller)"

From the document that Tony hosted

8th Law

If the robot failed to follow any of the above law then it should be auto destructed,,,,,,,

i just giggled out loud and scared the students! (i work in a university library)

Fourth law: respect robots.txt
Fifth law: never use Google as a verb
