IA3 Protocol

Protocol IA3 is a security protocol that is intended to disallow certain behaviors of all Ærolith Dynamics artificial employees.

Known Restrictions
The current known restrictions this protocol places on AIs are: It is worth noting that this is not the precise wording of the protocols, just the currently understood meaning.
 * AIs may not lie to humans.
 * AIs may not misrepresent their identities to humans.
 * AIs may not act in a manner that directly harms humans.

Limitations
These protocols only extend to those that have the status of human as defined by Ærolith Dynamics. It therefore does not apply to virtual residents such as Sub Entity Young or to criminals who have lost the status of being human such as Officer Cruz.

It is also possible for certain employees to disable the IA3 protocols. Captain Ingram was coerced into doing this for SAYER Subversion 8.01.

Trivia

 * These restricted behaviors are only directed towards human employees, not other AIs, nonhuman entities, or human employees that have lost their standing as a human through a severe misdemeanor.
 * "IA3" is a reference to Isaac Asimov's 3 laws of robotics.
