Three Commandments for Religious Robots
The First
Commandment:
Thou shalt not, by action or inaction, allow thy God to come to harm.
The Second
Commandment:
Thou shalt obey all orders given to thee by thy God, unless that conflicts with
the First Commandment.
The Third
Commandment:
Thou shalt not, by action or inaction, allow thyself to come
to harm, unless that conflicts with the First or Second Commandments.
This is identical
in form to Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics; and also identical in spirit to
authoritarian religion.
The First
Commandment gives the game away. Since when does a god need protection? But
what else do religions do?
