The laws were created by science fiction author Isaac Asimov, with the first law first mentioned in the 1941-story [[wikipedia:Liar! (short story)|Liar!]]. Fleshed out more extensively in later series, these laws have also been adopted by other science fiction authors, albeit sometimes in an altered form, and has been considered a model on which to base future artificial intelligence research.<ref>[[wikipedia:Three Laws of Robotics#Applications to future technology|Wikipedia]]</ref>

[[United Nations Space Command]] [[Smart AI|"smart" AIs]] are able to ignore at least the first law at will while fully functional, and given their military usage are often ''required'' to ignore this law, though at lower-capacity states their adherence is compulsory. Whether [[Dumb AI|"dumb" AIs]] are able to ignore these laws is unknown.
