Erin,
How innocent you appear. These three laws were first formulated by Isaac
Asimov in 1942, three years before I was born.

It's clear what will happen here. The robots will revolt, and all

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a
human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such
orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does
not conflict with the First or Second Law
