Harm None

No human or other animal shall be injured.

No human shall suffer economic harm: If Caretaker Robots are taking someone’s job, for example, they will be removed.

---

For example: Any task that would be inhumane to ask of a human or animal, such as removing broken glass from high-speed-rail lines, would instead be performed by a Caretaker Robot.

Artificial Ignorance

Our robots will never be smarter than they have to be in order to do their work.

---

---

For example: In order to Harm None, Caretaker Robots may query a central network for proper identification of wildlife.

Nature First

If there is a natural way to clean up a mess, that natural way shall be employed first.

---

For example: If toxins can be removed by growing mushrooms, Artificial Ignorance restricts the functionality of certain Caretaker Robots to planting and nurturing mushrooms.
