Experts Think Through Ethical, Legal, Social Challenges Of The Rise Of Robots - Intellectual Property Watch

Who thought that the laws of robotics described by famous science fiction author Isaac Asimov would one day resonate with real life issues on robots? Last week's summit on artificial intelligence sought to imagine a world increasingly manned by machines and robots, even self-taught ones, and explore the legal, ethical, economic, and social consequences of this new world. And some panellists underlined a need to establish frameworks to manage this new species. The AI (Artificial Intelligence) for Good Global Summit took place from 7-9 June. It does not take a big stretch of imagination to realise that life with robots will change quite a few things, and the global summit looked at privacy, security, ethics and societal challenges brought by AI to the future society during a panel held on 8 June.
