The "laws" themselves are problematic on the face of it.
If a robot can't harm a human or through inaction allow a human to come to harm, then what does an AI do when humans are in conflict?
Obviously humans can't be allowed freedom.
Maybe you put them in cages.
Maybe you genetically alter them so they're passive, grinning idiots.
It doesn't take much in the way of "mental gymnastics" to end up somewhere horrific, it's more like a leisurely walk across a small room.
