Thankfully a few very advanced (and possibly telepathic!) robots will ditch the fourth and add the zeroth: "A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm." R. Daneel Olivaw to the rescue.

Except that they even identify that the law they added is almost impossible to follow, and default to letting a human pick the fate of the universe.

This is among the stories that had me thinking Asimov wanted to communicate the 3 laws were not sufficient and that you might be able to have the correct reaction to events, but the 3 (or 4) laws do not give the ability to grow and change as a human race.
