About
Uri J. Schild is a scholar whose work bridges the worlds of science fiction and artificial intelligence ethics. His primary research area explores the philosophical and practical implications of Isaac Asimov’s famous Three Laws of Robotics. Schild’s most notable contribution is his seminal paper, “The three laws of robotics revisited” (2008), which critically examines the fundamental flaw in Asimov’s framework: the problem of discretionary interpretation by robots. By dissecting how these laws can be ambiguously applied, Schild highlights a core challenge for real-world AI safety and autonomous decision-making. Although his work has garnered a modest 2 citations, its conceptual impact is significant, serving as a foundational reference for discussions on robotic ethics and the limitations of rule-based systems. Schild’s analysis remains a compelling starting point for students and researchers grappling with the enduring tension between rigid programming and the nuanced, unpredictable nature of human-like reasoning in machines.
