I should also bring up a common sticking point while we're on the subject of interpretation of laws: Law 2. A lot of people take this rule as "the AI has to do whatever it's asked to do" but conveniently forget the bit about the chain of command. This is essential because it prevents someone like the Clown getting into some place like Security. Many a crew member has tried to ask me to let them into the Bridge or somewhere and shrieked "LAW 2" at me incessantly when I refused, and it's really goddamn annoying. Some AIs have more lax interpretations of this, but by and large, don't expect it to hand you access to important places unless you have a damn good reason.
