half-truth

This scale puts your partner responsible for deciding whether to lie or hit you with the truth. Suitable for cohabiting partners.

Asimov’s First Law

“A robot may not harm a human being.”
The first law of robotics by Isaac Asimov.

Artificial intelligence is a topic widely used in the media, however, exactly how far are we from such technology? Are these fears towards robotic developments necessary or purely irrational? What is it about these currently fictional characters that scare us? Are there existing domestic objects that already break this law?

Scales, although they don’t perform physical harm, have been subtly damaging us psychologically. Should objects like these exist in a complex society like ours where people are more emotionally fragile?
