==Android Ethics Code==
The ''Android Ethics Code'' is a set of codes designed to protect artificially intelligent beings from inhumane treatment. Few codes are actually known, but the codes do state that robots cannot be destroyed unless they are legally declared dangerous by having or being likely to harm a human, and that owners and manufacturers may be liable for malfunctions and resulting damages.<ref>[https://www.patreon.com/posts/silver-age-of-64530190 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' bonus chapter ''The Silver Age of Robotics'' on Patreon.

'''The Great Enlightenment''' refers to the period of time that saw large advancements in the field of robotics, specifically with the creation of the first artificial intelligence.
 
Prior to World War I, robots were crude and simple machines and were not self-aware. During and after the Great War, large advancements in the field of robotics was achieved. Because of a production boom throughout the war, [[MinorOther Characterscompanies#General Robotics|General Robotics]] President Thomas Holt and others began working on artificial intelligence, machines that were capable of understanding commands and problem solving.
 
This eventually led German scientist Rudolph Lorenz to the creation of the first self-aware robot, nicknamed [[MinorList Charactersof minor characters#Electronica|Electronica]]. Electronica was able to have limited conversations and understood basic logic, and lacked much mobility. Her creation marked the beginning of The Great EnlightemnetEnlightenment.<ref>[https://www.patreon.com/posts/more-robot-great-54318929 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' bonus chapter ''More Robot History: The Great Enlightenment'' on Patreon.

After the passing of the Android Ethics Code, many became uncomfortable with the parallels of owning an unpaid robotic labor force as property, with slavery. Tension grew as robotic labor began taking many jobs of the working class, especially in [[NotableList Locationsof notable locations#Dupont|Dupont]], the center of American robot manufacturing. Riots broke out, and combined with coverage of robots used in the Vietnam War, led to a negative public perception of robots.<ref>[https://www.patreon.com/posts/robot-history-68484258 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' bonus chapter ''Robot History: Backlash and Uprising'' on Patreon.
