(from slashdot.org)
"......... robots that have the ability to learn and can communicate
information to their peers have learned to lie. 'Three colonies of bots in
the 50th generation learned to signal to other robots in the group when
they
found food or poison. But the fourth colony included lying cheats that
signaled food when they found poison and then calmly rolled over to the
real
food while other robots went to their battery-death.'"
At least Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics didn't apply (yet).
