Now that I think about it, this kind of makes sense.

From Isaac Assimov. “The Three Laws of Robotics:”

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Now, my preference would be the 10 Commandments and the Beatitudes, but there may be a simple explanation for the way Siri and Iris have been programmed.
