Should real robots obey Asimov's Laws?

[Gatac]

Well, I think Asimov's rigidly-constructed robots are possible, but only after we've used self-evolving systems to get a better understanding of how workable AI organises itself. I'm sure military and government contractors will take an Asimov model - after all, they are completely predictable, or should be -, but the real world needs a cheaper, faster and smarter solution, even if it comes with some risks.

I like the idea of standing orders. Especially since the "human" in Asimov's Laws should really be corrected to "sapient being".
