Hello chaps, I'm here with a slight dilemma (for me anyway). I've almost finished I, Robot, and I've been thinking about situations for putting the robots through. Kind of using an example from the book, what if two people were underneath a heavy object in different locations, and this fell with the robot only able to save one of them, which human would the robot save? A similar situation, people in different locations are still underneath said object, but now 5 people are underneath one of them with 1 person remaining underneath the other, but the one with 5 people is several times further away. Does the robot attempt to save the human they're more likely to, or the one with a higher number of people. This was very possibly answered in another one of his books (he wrote over 500!) but yeah, just things I was wondering.
These are the 3 laws of Robotics just so you remember.
1. A robot may not injure a human being, r through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings except when such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

) Anyway, yes, thank you.
