False. The correct formulation of the Second Law of Robotics, as defined by science fiction author Isaac Asimov, is: "A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law." The First Law states: "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm." Therefore, the Second Law does not override the First Law but rather operates within its constraints.
