Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics"

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Asimov later added the “Zeroth Law,” above all the others – “A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.”

You forgot the Zeroth Law:

Zeroth Law
A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.

“A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.”

Both the later books, and the Will Smith movie explored the logical conclusion of that law: to protect humans against themselves, robots would have to take control
