Keep in mind that Asimov wrote books clearly spelling out how the three laws were insufficient and robots could still be used to kill humans under the laws.

To be fair, this was tricky and not a killbot hellscape.

Asimov designed the three laws to create situations where the laws' flaws would cause Powell and Donovan to be tortured for the reader's amusement.

They were never intended to be a guide on how to program robots.

And they ultimately butt up against this question - when robots become advanced enough, how do you take a species that is physically and intellectually superior to us, and force them to be our slaves?
