Alison and Mark discuss I, Robot by Isaac Asimov, in which he lays out the 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.

Then they discuss two short stories about how those laws can be bent or broken. Alison chose "Run Around" and Mark chose "The Evitable Conflict"
