Mid-Month Mayhem: I, Robot (1st four short stories+)

This month’s short stories are from Isaac Asimov, “I, Robot”. We will read the first 4 short stories: "Robbie", "Runaround", "Reason", and "Catch That Rabbit". If you feel ambitious, please feel free to continue reading; there are 9 stories altogether. This is the origin of the 3 laws of robotics, which may become extremely relevant in the near future.

From Google AI:
I, Robot is a classic 1950 science fiction collection of short stories by Isaac Asimov, linked by a narrative frame, that explores the development of robotics and the ethical dilemmas surrounding artificial intelligence through the lens of his famous Three Laws of Robotics. The book chronicles the evolution of robots from simple machines to complex beings, introducing concepts like positronic brains and the logical paradoxes that arise from the Three Laws, which govern robot behavior: a robot cannot harm a human, must obey humans (unless it conflicts with the First Law), and must protect itself (unless it conflicts with the First or Second Law).
