Artificial intelligence (AI) raises a number of ethical and political challenges in the present and near term, with applications such as driverless cars and search engines and potential issues ranging from job disruption to privacy violations. Over a longer term, if AI becomes as or more intelligent than humans, other governance issues such as safety and control may increase in importance. What policy approaches make sense across different issues and timeframes?
On the request of the Committee on Llegal Affairs the Policy Department is organising a Workshop on “Robotics and Artificial Intelligence - Ethical Issues and Regulatory approach” with the participation of Members of national Parliaments.
The first part of the Workshop will focus on basic ethical and policy questions raised by the development of robotics and AI on the basis of presentations by experts. This will be followed by a discussion with national parliamentarians on what the legislator should do and on which level, with the European Parliament’s draft legislative initiative report on “Civil Law Rules on Robotics” as a basis.
