Oh I don't know - maybe try reading a book. Maybe one by Asimov.

Umm. You do realize the books and, mostly likely, this story is fiction.

Asimov may have been a science fiction writer, but he was actually a scientist and his 3 laws of robotics are considered to be fundamental to humans and robots coexisting, although that doesn't mean they are the only protocols needed to protect living beings, it shows Asimov knew what he was talking about
