legal status and kill switch
Robot legal status and kill switches to be taken up in MEPs AI Proposal
MEPs requested for an implementation of inclusive policies about how humans will interact with robots and other artificial intelligence. The report clearly considers that the world is on the verge of a'new industrial' robotic innovation. It also contemplates whether to give robots a legal category as electronic individuals. Furthermore, the report dictates designers to create a'kill switch' for all robots. This will allow all functions to be shut down if the situation calls for it.
