I, Robot

Asimov's 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.

The movie was great. It's more a Bad Boy meets with Robotic Philosophy. The movie was based on the book by Isaac Asimov with the same name. In the movie, the story revolves around the 3 robotic rules. According to the logic, a robot can never hurt to another human being.

But through better thinking AI, the machines start to become self aware. There are more aware of their surroundings, history, time, philosophy and culture. They understang about murder, war, polution where all these factors contribute to the downfall of humanity. Through an evolutionary change, the AI themself has created a new law that overode all 3 laws.

Zeroth Law, a robot to kill a human being if it was for the purpose of saving humanity.

Many movies has actually questioned the usage of AI. Another famous Sci-fi movie, The Terminator also came up with the same scenario, where in 1997, the AI, Skynet was everywhere. It controlled nearly everything in our lives from the traffic lights to the military arsenals. Once Skynet was intergrated into the US's military system thus controlling all of the weapons, it became self aware about humanity. One of sky nets main priority was "To defend itself from all forms of enemy". It's logic came to the conclusion that humans kills humans and destroys the enviroment. Thus humans are enemies of humans. To defend itself from the enemy, Skynet must attact the enemy which are humans.

The movie I, Robot and the Terminator series actually exploits the bad side of AI, let it be logically or ethically. We have to ask ourself, are we ready to let AI controll our lifes. Are we ready to let AI do everything for us. No human supervision in areas such as military control, weapons control and even economical control.

Singularity Institute for the Artificial Inteligence (SIAI) are pursuing for a more ethically enhanced intelligence by creating humane AI. Even we might be quite far befind before the first truly thinkable AI appears, we should be thinking about many questions about its usage and about how it thinks. Should an AI's thinking logic be governed by the 3 laws or is there a more ethical approach or more ethical AI that we should be creating.
