A Robot Walks Into a Bar
Is this some kind of joke? No, not at all. This video explores the social ramifications and social turmoil that will come when robots take over our jobs and send us packing. Where will all the truckers go when self driving trucks displace human drivers? What happens to the thousands of bartenders when their services are no longer needed? Will it become necessary to drop the first of Asimov’s law of robotics? What happens when robots dedicated to these laws realize that their existence injures humans? Lots of questions, right? This video attempts to answer them all…
The Three Laws of Robotics
First Law:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law:
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law:
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law
~ Isaac Asimov, laws introduced in the 1942 short story “Runaround.”
