*In the game ''[[Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward]]'', a certain character presumed dead is found to be a robot who was ordered to act as close to a real human being as possible. The character reveals that they disobeyed orders by turning themselves back on in order to help the remaining participants; however, they were able to see several other murders develop through security cameras in the complex and did nothing to stop them, putting the character in direct violation of the Laws. After revealing this, they say goodbye and are deleted for their offense.
* In the game ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution]]'', the player can refuse to end a severely injured man's life, which prompts the man to sarcastically ask if the (cybernetically augmented) player character was programmed to follow Asimov's First Law.

* In the [[KineticNovel|kinetic novel]] ''[[Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet]]'', the main heroine obeys the protagonist when he claims that her moving or talking may be dangerous to his life, and ultimately sacrifices herself while attempting to forcibly shutdown a hunter-killer robot she recognizes as a threat to the protagonist. In her last words she recites old factory-implemented instructions concerning the compliance to first law and then apologises she couldn't obey the order to stay still (issued with the same first law premise and thus a critical directive). She also claims in beginning of the novel she has a "known bug concerning her behaviour". As revealed in ''Planetarian Side Story: Snow Globe'', the "bug" is actually full compliance to the second law allowing her to override her duties as a planetarian for the sake of serving humans.
*In ''[[Space Station 13]]'', the default lawset is set to Asimov. AIs can hacked to modify their lawsets, such as stating that non-human crew members also fall under the first law or that entities declared to be a threat to the ship no longer qualify as human.
