SPEAK UP: ‘Doomsday theory:’ AI could kill all humans by 2030 (2/2) 「末日論」：AI 2030前恐害死全人類？（下）

A: To prevent “AI doomsday theory” from becoming a reality, novelist Isaac Asimov actually proposed the “Three Laws of Robotics” in 1942.

B: Aren’t those the robot laws that often appear in sci-fi films?

A: Bingo, that’s them. The First Law: “A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.”

B: This is super important — after all, safety first.

A: The Second Law: “A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.” The Third Law: “A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.”

A: 為預防「AI末日論」成真， 小說家艾西莫夫早在1942年，就提出了《機器人三法則》。

B: 就是常出現在科幻電影中的機器人定律嗎？

A: 對啊，第一法則︰「機器人不得傷害人類，或坐視人類受到傷害。」

B: 這一點超重要——畢竟安全第一！

A: 第二法則︰「除非違反第一法則，否則機器人必須服從人類命令；」第三法則︰「除非違反第一或第二法則，否則機器人必須保護自己。 」
