The four precepts mentioned at the start of the movie are a homage to Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. 1: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2: A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
