Then he's an idiot.
Asimov's laws of robotics aren't some kind of model by which to control AI, there are plot device. They're literally not supposed to work, if they did work it would be a very short book, so obviously we shouldn't use them for controlling AI.
I don't know any serious IT professional that has ever, at any point, ever forwarded the opinion that an AI (should we ever a create one, because there is an arguement that LLMs aren't AI) should be ruled by a plot device from a book. Equally if we ever invent warp drive and find aliens I'm assuming we're not going to be restricted to the prime directive.
