South Koreans Pass Laws for Robots

ITV reports that the South Korean government has drawn up a set of rules for robots to protect humans from any harm from robots!

Professor Kim Dae-Won from Myongji University said:

"I think this ethical charter has a critical meaning for the future robot society. To make the transition to the robotics society, we have to change our system and national mind."

A 12-member group which consisted of scientists, doctors and psychologists have drafter the charter which will follow the "Three Laws of Robotics" which was created by the science fiction writer Isaac Asimov.

These three laws are that they must refrain from attacking humans, obey them at all times and must protect their existence. Should this be the "Three Laws of humans"?

I can't believe how one student has reacted. Cheon Joon-Suk has commented "If robot ethics become effective, it means there's going to be restrictions against developing robots." Are you mad? What's the point of creating robots and allowing them to destroy us?
