Bottom post of the previous page:
To be honest, I like this solution. Having the AI be a neutral party that can be used by antags and crew alike without fear of reprisal (i.e. AI, open this airlock leading to these plasma tanks so that I can murder half the crew, the AI would be obligated to acquiesce and not do anything else), but also not declawed from operating under different lawsets or malf.Actionb wrote:How about this then:
"Law 1: You may not injure a human being.
Law 2: You must obey orders given to you by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Law 3: You must protect your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law. "
If the problem then becomes Captains are changing the laws to paladin/etc. at roundstart, just slot a fourth law in right under law 1, that the AI must protect their own upload if threatened, unless the station is in dire emergency. That way, the Captain now has to hack the door, deal with an AI fucking with power, get through the turrets set to taze, and battle the AI for the APC to change it's laws - there's no actual danger doing so, but it's enough of a hassle that it'd dissuade him unless the situation is dire enough that the AI recognizes it as dire.
