The Asimov "Three Laws" are nothing to do with AI. Purely a mechanism to set up SF themed Detective stories. He later wrote actual Detective short stories. The "Robots" are more like Androids (Though so are the originals in RUR, the play that invented the term) and the computers in the stories then are gigantic machines.
IMO a mistake when he was persuaded to go back to SF writing to write more Foundation books and combine them with the "Robot" books. Caves of Steel is a classic full length SF detective story originally nothing to do with the Foundation Trilogy.
