In his genre-defining collection of science fiction short stories, titled "I, Robot," author Isaac Asimov laid out the three laws or robotics. Respectively, the laws forbid a robot from harming a human being in any way order a robot to obey human instructions, and direct a robot to protect its own existence — as long as those efforts don't interfere with the prior two laws. But considering the sheer mayhem large language models and agentic artificial intelligence agents have unleashed so far, even the current crop of AIs is completely flunking all three of Asimov's laws of robotics.
