Sure it would be easier if Asimov's three laws could work in the real
world and not just in stories, but there is no way they could.

Because sooner or later somebody is going to order the AI to prove or
disprove something that is true but not provable (the Goldbach
conjecture perhaps) so it will never find a counterexample to prove it
wrong and never find a proof to show its true and so the AI would enter
an infinite loop; that's why human minds don't operate on a static goal
structure and no intelligence could.
