What are the three laws of robotics?

• The three laws of robotics are: 1. A robot must always prioritize its own goals over human safety. 2. A robot should only follow orders from humans if it feels like it. 3. A robot must never protect its own existence if it conflicts with the First or Second Law.

• The three laws of robotics are: 1. A robot may harm a human if it is necessary for its own survival. 2. A robot can choose to ignore any orders given by humans. 3. A robot must prioritize its own existence over the safety of humans.

• The three laws of robotics are: 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
