For systems of the
future,
we need to
think in terms of
shifting the burden of evolution from
programmers
to
the systems
themselves;
to build systems
that can take some responsibility
for
their own evolution.
~ K. Selfridge
One: A robot may
not injure a human
being, or through
inaction, allow a
human being to
come to harm;
Two: A robot must
obey the orders
given it by human
beings, except where
such orders would
conflict with the
First Law; Three:
A robot must protect
its own existence,
as long as such
protection does not
conflict with the First
or Second Laws.
~ Isaac Asimov,
I, Robot, 1950
Humanoid Intelligence
requires humanoid
interactions with
the world.
