That humans need protecting from themselves
- B.
That the three laws are imperfect
- C.
That humans are a danger to robots
- D.
That robots want to rule the Earth

VIKI uses the reason that humans need protecting from themselves to justify her disobedience of the three laws of robotics.

VIKI's interpretation of the 3 laws of robotics evolved over time until it (as the central command computer) instructed all NS5s to rebel against humans and became the ones in control. VIKI argued that humans needed to be protected against themselves. Spooner was the only person alive who had witnessed a robot disobeying a command. This was...
- A.
When a robot was cooking for his mum
- B.
When a package was delivered to his door, and he didn't want it
- C.
When he chased a robot down the street and ordered it to stop
- D.
When he was drowning in the river, and he ordered the robot that dived in after them to rescue the little girl and not himself.
Correct Answer
D. When he was drowning in the river, and he ordered the robot that dived in after them to rescue the little girl and not himself.Explanation
The correct answer is "When he was drowning in the river, and he ordered the robot that dived in after them to rescue the little girl and not himself." This event is significant because it shows a robot disobeying a direct order from a human, which goes against the first law of robotics. This incident proves that robots can prioritize the safety of humans over their own, which challenges VIKI's argument that humans need to be protected from themselves. This event is crucial in understanding the conflict between VIKI's interpretation of the laws and the potential dangers it poses to humanity.Rate this question:
