No it isn't.  It's a statement of fact.  Those are ok moral principles
for robot designers[1].  You can design a machine morally.  You cannot
design morality into a machine until you reduce morality to an
algorithm.  The Three Laws aren't that.  They aren't even close.

[1] I prefer "A robot should do its job and not hurt anyone."
