Ukraine’s Ground Robot Tore Through Russian Troops—So It’s Now Armed With a Grenade Launcher - Sopuli

> Ukraine is set to field its first officially codified domestically built grenade launcher armed ground robot, after the Ministry of Defense approved the Droid NW 40 robotic combat system for service with the country’s Defense Forces, developer DevDroid said on December 23.

  • A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

  • A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

  • A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

  • I don’t think it will be programmed that way.
    The writer of the laws himself made his career by writing an entire book series with stories about pointing out where the laws break down.
    He did also do some stories about ‘fixing’ the laws but in every case that resulted in either limiting the robots capabilities in a restricting way or requiring them to have more power over people in ways that could be restricting to humanity in the longrun.
