Will Robots Get Their Own Independence Day?
According to the UK’s Independent, the next century will be defined by how humans decide to manage robots, AI and machine learning. In fact, the European Parliament has already taken steps to create regulations around the use of artificial intelligence and robots, even coining the term “electronic personhood” in their draft of rights and responsibilities of highly functional AI.
Think of robots seen as people the way the judicial system sees and treats corporations as people who can be sued and also make claims. The difficult part behind this project is defining what is and is not a “robot person.”
“As daunting as these challenges are, lawmakers, politicians and courts are only beginning to skim the surface of what sort of problems, and indeed opportunities, artificial intelligence and robotics pose,“ says Christopher Markou of Independent. He goes on to speculate on the possibility of humans duplicating themselves into robot form and which of the two retains certain rights over the other. “With each new advancement in AI and robotics, we are brought closer to a reckoning not just with ourselves, but over whether our laws, legal concepts, and the historical, cultural, social and economic foundations on which they are premised are truly suited to addressing the world as it will be, not as it once was.”
