It could very well stay exactly as it is, and the AI just consider all those guys to be human.

You can already tell that some AI assholes will abuse this and toe the line saying they aren't human.

If your AI is a asshole you are already going to have issues. If they do that just ban them from the position.

Then what's the reason for having the word 'human'? They are clearly not human. They have different needs to humans, are different physiologically, and are generally non-human.

So the AI can kill xeno invaders. I'd count them as crew!

Xeno's aren't crew. They're not on the crew manifest.

I mean if you're going to make the laws apply to things that are crew but not human, why keep the wording to say human?

Racist.

The reason Asimov says crew is so they can kill things like changelings once proven.

Changelings aren't technically crew, they killed the crew member before they were sent to the station and assumed the role of the crew member to get onboard.

The problem about "crew" as a replacement for human is that the AI can kill ERT
"Nanotrasen employee" might work better.

Because it turns the AI into essentially just a human with superpowers.
Asimov tethers them to certain restrictions that they have to follow, so it makes AI more interesting.
