I, Robot

“I, Robot” is a science fiction work by author Isaac Asimov, originally published as a collection of short stories in 1950. The term refers to the central themes and concepts explored in the stories, particularly the ethical and moral implications of artificial intelligence and robotics. The title also refers to Asimov’s famous “Three Laws of Robotics,” which govern the behavior of robots in his narratives: a robot cannot harm a human being, must obey human orders unless it conflicts with the first law, and must protect its own existence as long as it does not conflict with the first two laws. The stories examine interactions between humans and robots, the evolution of artificial intelligence, and the complexities of machine morality. “I, Robot” has significantly influenced popular culture, the science fiction genre, and discussions surrounding the future of robotics and AI.
