I'm looking for sci-fi series, can be either anime or manga, that is centered around the 3 laws of robotics, like Eve no Jikan, or is about the evolution of ai technology, like Chobits. I would prefer seinen as those tend to be more serious and less shallow but any demographic is fine.

Seigi Keikan Monju exactly what you're looking for. great storyline. but no scanlation. sorry
gunslinger girl not a robot though. they're cyborg. als got great storyline.
Ichigeki Sacchu Hoihoi-san may not what you're looking for but a great recomendation still
and there's also aa megami-sama. there's a few arcs for the exact topic your looking for. but the robot is not the main story.

Karakuri Odetto
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
...are the two best android manga I've read.

For manga -
I'm not sure if it fits your specifications exactly, but 2001 Ya Monogatari is a very good sci-fi manga. It's seinen too.
Mirai no Futatsu no Kao - Not scanned, but it's licensed.
Pluto , Planetes - Sort of.
Blame! - I'm kind of doubtful about this, but you might want to try it and see.
Gunslinger Girl - Bears some similarities to Chobits.

For anime - Yukikaze is pretty good. The manga here is kind of side-story to the plot in the anime.
Kurau: Phantom Memory
The Nightmare of Fabrication - This is also little far out, but it's a very fascinating story.

Actually A.D. Police might fit the bill, its cyberpunk connotations resemble Ghost in the Shell, and it centers itself in the development of ai.

second both Pluto & Planetes
Yume no Tsuzuki
Akira
