Asimov's Laws of Robotics Applied to Software
2007
IEEE Software
Preserved Fulltext
Asimov's Laws of Robotics constrain robots to server their human masters. Minor rewording shows that similar principles are very relevant to software too. These laws of software encompass a host of desiderata and tradeoffs that software developers need to keep in mind, and demonstrate that issues that are typically treated in a fragmented manner are actually strongly intertwined.
