From Isaac Asimov:

The 3 laws of robotics

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

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

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

It will be interesting to see how chat bots and search engines will define their system of ethics and morality, and even more interesting to see if humans will adopt those systems as their own. #GodIsInControl
