What are you referring to? The Three Laws? AFAIR they exist in order to explore how dumb the idea of them is in the first place. Such high-level rules don't map to reality at all.

A ruleset correctly encompassing human moral values is a complex and hard problem. It's so hard that we haven't even figured out the proper formalisms for it, not to mention that while all humans seem to share some basic moral values, it gets very muddy in the details.
