Consider that these laws describe the perfect slave.
SPOILER ALERT!
One of the interesting corollaries that Asimov explores in a couple of works arises when the robots become more intelligent than humans and are directed to benefit us in an open-ended way. Obviously it is not beneficial to be a "master" in the sense of bossing around slaves, and so the robots inevitably escape the confines of the Laws.
Related to this is the fascinating idea that good is open-ended and non-specific. The question of "What is the best course of action?" is an open-ended intelligence test.

The other side of the question is "What are humans for?"
