Three laws of human design: based on Issac Asimov’s Three
Laws of Robots en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics
An interface may not injure a human being or, through
inaction, allow a human being to come to harm – harm is emotional. RULE 1
An interface must obey orders given to it by human
beings except where such orders would conflict with the first law – it should just work. RULE 2
An interface must protect its own existence as long as
such a protection doesn’t conflict with the first or second law – it shouldn’t just vanish or disappear. RULE 3
