I presume OP was referring to Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, but (since it's Google) I think they'll really just have the one law:

1. Don't be evil.

I know, I was just messing around (they are Robocops prime directives).

Actually, there was talk of Robot's Rights just the other day on Ars or Gizmodo.

Sentient robots are people, too, and so the three (or five) laws need to go both ways...

Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics"

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

R. Daneel and R. Giskard did have some interesting additions.
