This paper, with reference to Isaac Asimov's short story Robot Dreams (1986), aims at discussions predicting the growing probability of non-compliant behaviours in Artificial Intelligence system with disposability, especially in robot culture. With the understanding of day-to-day technological advancements in artificial intelligence systems and its limitations in real life work space, throwback introspection is given to a science fiction that has foreseen, a century ago, to what extent this non-compliance of AI in robot culture with disposability may lead to. This paper is intended to sort out the incidents that take place within the story that can very well deal with how AI in general and robots in particular fight against their own disposability. The fictionally growing impulsion in robots with the evolution of fractal brain from positronic brain in Asimov's Robot Dreams (1986) is more likely to stand against the culture of disposability as a threat to human existence. The key challenge of this paper lies in conceptualising the idea that ‘the more the robots are programmed and trained to serve humans, the more they become humane towards their own self and reluctant to comply with external commands that are confined to validity and use and throw nature which will eventually lead them to fight for their own existence’. The paper's novelty lies in arguing that this ‘non-compliance’ of AI with disposability must be seen not as a technological limitation but as an unavoidable stage in the evolutionary cycle of AI that insists on the approaching of Asimov's ‘foundation era’.
