If you haven’t had the chance to watch the movie starring Will Smith yet, I, Robot, the time is now with all of the advancements technology and artificial intelligence has been giving us. The movie gives an interesting take on the importance of setting up boundaries with regards to the field. It even brings us back to fiction author’s Isaac Asimov’s original three laws of robotics:

· 1st Law: A robot must not harm a human, or through inaction, allow a human to come to harm.
· 2nd Law: A robot must follow human orders unless they violate the First Law.
· 3rd Law: A robot must protect its own existence, provided this doesn't conflict with the first two laws.

In the movie, Will Smith’s character of Del must work with a robot named Sonny to try and solve a crime. The problem is, Del does not trust robots and has good reason not to. But as the movie continues on, Del realizes that Sonny is not like the other robots. And they end up working together to solve an even bigger situation that mixes the boundaries of artificial intelligence, robotics, and humanity.

With technology and artificial intelligence advancing at the speed it is advancing in, rules to protect the future of humanity and users are an absolute must. Without rules and boundaries, technology and artificial intelligence very well could do more harm than good. Yet, that is why our team at Reflekta makes sure we are putting ethics, morals, and setting boundaries to protect humanity first and foremost. We make sure that Asimov’s rules are being followed through our technology, but at the same time we put the human side as a priority.

We make sure our artificial intelligence technology is not meant to harm humanity, but only to help. We disclose everything that Reflekta is, and everything that Reflekta isn’t to each user prior to signing up and utilizing the platform. We also make sure that the artificial intelligence is set up to only do what we program it to do, and nothing unethical.

By setting and keeping boundaries, we can ensure that a situation like that happened with V.I.K.I., in the movie I, Robot, never happens, and our users get the best possible experience they can.
