Full Description
Volume II discusses the societal and economic transformations introduced by robotics. Editors Ryan Calo, A. Michael Froomkin and Kristen Thomasen, alongside their contributing authors, explore the legal, ethical, and societal challenges that robotics and automated systems pose, investigating the intersection of law and policy in this area.
Multidisciplinary authors provide a field-defining examination of years of transformative law and robotics scholarship. Presenting insightful perspectives on the societal risks and opportunities of robotics and artificial intelligence, authors focus on the legal and policy questions that robots present as well as their disruption of existing legal regimes. The book also offers a range of legal, policy, and ethical interventions to help channel robotics and AI in the public interest. Furthermore the book opens an important dialogue, underscoring the need to confront and mitigate the potential communicative or expressive harm that could be caused by this technology.
This book is an essential resource for law professors, students, practitioners, and jurists as well as engineering and AI students, academics, and researchers of robotics. Policymakers will find the interventions posed in this book valuable for developing strategies to address the impacts of robotics and AI.
