Trefjaefna

Trefjaefna, also known as the "Three Laws of Robotics," is a set of rules proposed by the science fiction author Isaac Asimov. These laws are intended to guide the behavior of robots and artificial intelligence, ensuring that they act in a manner that is beneficial to humans and does not harm them. The laws are as follows:

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 Laws.

These laws were first introduced in Asimov's 1942 short story "Runaround," and they have since become a staple of science fiction and a subject of debate in the fields of ethics and artificial intelligence. The Three Laws of Robotics have been expanded and modified in various ways by Asimov and other authors, leading to a rich and complex body of work that explores the implications of these rules for the future of technology and society.
