The good Doctor Asimov has even spelled out a list of Robot's Rules of Order, which you hear referenced in the Firesign Theater's "We're All Bozos On This Bus" when a background PA voice advertises space flight vacations where Robot's Rules Of Order Do Not Apply.
The Asimov robot stories and his description of the development of the robot psyche within the constraints of the "Three Laws of Robotics" were fascinating and after the Fourth Law or actually the "Zeroth Law" was created we see the emergence of a benign, hidden robot overlord working for thousands of years to protect mankind from self-annihilation or extinction.
I like Asimov's version of the future of humans and intelligent machines as they spread into the galaxy in a series of civilizations. It is a pretty good story.
A very different set of stories about humans and intelligent machines can be found in Frank Herbert's
Dune series, but especially in the set of prequels written by his son Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. These stories have two sorts of intelligent machine; one group from just a few years in our future are a group of humans who develop a means to transfer themselves into robotic bodies and the other group are self-aware computers that sometimes act individually and sometimes as part of various networked entities. The machines become absolute evil overlords over humanity and after thousands of years are overthrown by the Butlerian Jihad.
I like the semi- smart/stupid gadgets we have and are developing and I really enjoy reading these epic fictional tales of a long adventurist future.
Since humans never get along very well I expect that our actual story will mostly be full of mischief caused by people with their panties in a bunch and a bug up their ass about something.
