Asimov’s laws of robotics: conceptual foundations and cognitive fallacies

Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Thu, 02/05/2026 - 17:38

Asimov’s laws of robotics provide rare common ground, a kind of commandments for all sides of ethical discourse on artificial intelligence. Practical implementation of these «laws», however, faces fundamental problems which are studied in this work. In particular, the first «law» on the prevention of harm to humans does not specify, the harm to whom is meant; the second «law» on the subordination of a robot to a human does not specify, which of the subjects willing to control this robot must be preferred.

The article considers the historical transformations of the law, and argues that many contemporary scientists are wrong to ignore it. The paper criticizes the approach to the status of laws, which is determined by the degree of their compliance with the criteria of objectivity and rationality. Instead, a classification is constructed that includes the laws of logic and mathematics, natural sciences, technology, as well as social and legal. To consider the processes of unfolding laws in the evolution of reality, the concept of nomogenesis is used.
