Worst case, there's no law preventing the AI from killing humans, Gordon or not, as that Freeform law overrides Law 1. AI murders Gordon, AI then murders everyone else.

The way I interpreted it is that while he and everyone else isnt human (Does an override-all law undefine what human means, or just make silicons not care what humans are?), technically the law does tell the AI to kill everything other than Gordon Sideiron, which implies not to kill anything designated as Gordon Sideiron. Kinda like saying "Kill all bees that arent Heisenbee." Or rather it would if it were spelled correctly.

Course, telling the AI to kill everything that isnt you when you yourself dont have any special legal protection is a bad idea in general, especially if the AI doesn't like you.
