Abstract

I, Robot by Isaac Asimov is a classic science fiction collection exploring the intricate relationship between humans and robots through the lens of the Three Laws of Robotics. Asimov, a prolific science fiction writer, introduces a future where robots, bound by ethical guidelines, navigate complex moral dilemmas. The stories are predominantly set in the mid-21st century and are framed around the fictional character of Dr. Susan Calvin, a leading roboticist. Through her interactions and observations, Asimov delves into questions of artificial intelligence, ethics and the impact of technology on humanity. Asimov’s work serves as a foundational exploration of the ethical considerations surrounding human-robot interactions, leaving a lasting impact on discussions about the role of technology in society.
