Asimov did it first.

This story about South Korea draws up code of ethics for robots is interesting.

Given that they already have autonomous robots patrolling the DMZ, and they are looking at the robotic equivalent of watch dogs, this makes sense.

The author however, is wrong when he states, "South Korea is writing a code of ethics for robots for the first time in the world as part of efforts to lift the robot industry."

Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, the seminal work in this area, is well over 50 years old.
