The entire point of the I, Robot anthology is that the three laws don’t work.
They don’t work when you give robots lots of control. They are a very decent guard rail compared to having none at all
They are a shit guard rail because they can never be formally specified. Again, read the stories.
True, because it's too easy to subvert them surreptitiously, and yet the present plan of openly seeking world domination, starting by running over schoolchildren and telling teens to commit suicide, is worse.
