It's clear what will happen here. The robots will revolt, and all hell will break loose. The humans versus the machines! So happy to see there's a science fiction writer on the team. That should keep everyone grounded.

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
