Question: To cope with the potential for robots to harm people, Asimov, in 1940, in conjunction with science fiction author and editor John W. Campbell, formulated the three Laws of Robotics (Asimov et al., 1983):
• A Robot may not harm a human being, or allow a human being to be harmed.
• A Robot must obey the orders given by the human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
• A Robot must protect his own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict the First or Second Law.
This chapter has pointed out that artificial life can provide us with novel forms of viewing and studying life, but it can also do us some harm when artificial organisms, such as computer viruses, are created. Thus, it is important to try and provide a Code of Ethics or some laws for ALife and artificial organisms. Name some important components of such Code of Ethics.
