Overview of I, Robot

Asimov's "I, Robot" revolutionized science fiction with its Three Laws of Robotics, shaping real-world AI ethics debates decades before artificial intelligence existed. Will Smith's 2004 film adaptation brought these prescient stories - which technologists still reference today - to millions worldwide.

Mechanical Minds, Human Hearts: Asimov's Vision of Robot Psychology

In a world where robots walk among us, what separates machine from man? Isaac Asimov's groundbreaking "I, Robot" explores this question through interconnected stories that follow humanity's complex relationship with increasingly sophisticated artificial beings. Published in 1950, decades before modern AI development, Asimov crafted a framework - the Three Laws of Robotics - that still influences how we think about machine ethics today. Through the eyes of robopsychologist Dr. Susan Calvin, we witness the evolution of robots from simple servants to complex beings capable of independent thought. As these mechanical minds develop, they challenge our understanding of consciousness, free will, and what it truly means to be human. Gloria Weston's relationship with her mute robot nursemaid Robbie represents the purest form of human-robot interaction - built on trust, play, and genuine affection. When Gloria's fearful mother convinces her husband to return Robbie to the factory, the child becomes heartbroken, constantly searching for her mechanical companion. During a factory tour arranged by her father, Gloria spots Robbie and rushes toward him - directly into the path of an oncoming tractor. In that critical moment, Robbie rescues Gloria from certain death, demonstrating his protective programming works perfectly. Mrs. Weston, witnessing this act, finally relents: "He can stay with us until he rusts." Through Gloria's innocent eyes, we're invited to look beyond metal exteriors to recognize care and protection, regardless of its source.
