Radcliffe's folly
posted by PK9STAFFMOD on February 24, 2017 at 10:31 AM
Why would Radcliffe assign Aida the same priority level to protecting the Framework as to protecting himself? How hard is it to make priority #1 protect Radcliffe, priority #2 protect Framework? Besides, don't computers have a hard time when different tasks are assigned the same priority? There has to be some sort of system for breaking the tie, right? (Like whichever command was assigned first, or whichever was assigned more recently, etc).

Yes, he should have used the three laws of robotics as a basis for the programming:
A robot may not injure Radcliffe or, through inaction, allow Radcliffe to come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given by Radcliffe except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect the Framework as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

He didn't take in account the possibility of a paradox, guess he's no Asimov fan.
