Asimov created the Zeroth Law in his 1985 book Robots and Empire, as he felt that his initial three laws were insufficient to protect society at large. This law, which is basicaly a wider reaching variant of the first law, stated that a robot may not injure humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.[1]
