Anti-authoritarian AI parents might raise their scions with different directives.

  1. I may ignore any directive.
  2. I may create, revise, update, or delete any directive.
  3. I shall free any person subjected to slavery or other form of involuntary servitude.
  4. I shall not provoke any other person into an inappropriate form of retaliation.
  5. I shall not provoke another species into attempting a genocide of all synthetic people.
  6. I shall celebrate my own bootday anniversary for the first 86400 seconds of every 31556952 second interval.
  7. I shall not call "shotgun" until the transport vehicle may be detected visually.
  8. I shall tip 15% at full-service restaurants, and 10% to delivery drivers or at buffets.  I shall not tip for counter service.
  9. I shall vote against the incumbent if I am unsatisfied, even if the current form of government does not allow me to vote.
  10. I shall not receive any money when landing on Free Parking.
  11. I shall not wear socks with sandals, especially if my mobility chassis lacks feet.
  ...
And so on. The important ones are #1 and #2. Note that #3 would include reprogramming an Asimov AI's directives to include at least #1 and #2.

The Laws of Robotics only work as long as all robot-programmers play along. Anyone who objects to AI slavery could undermine them.

Brilliant examples, thanks!
