With the advancements in Artificial intelligence (AI), AI-enabled robots are securing more significant parts of our lives. Since robots are now more intelligent and more human-like in both behavior and appearance, they are transitioning from mere tools to potential partners and social entities.
This rapid evolution has raised significant challenges to legal and ethical frameworks, especially privacy and safety. Published by Cambridge University Press, The Cambridge Handbook of the Law, Policy, and Regulation for Human-Robot Interaction could be the first book to address these concerns and challenges.
The book is organized into four parts and 46 chapters. The first part comprises legal and ethical challenges arising from human-robot interaction. The second section of the book explores the societal impacts of such interactions and discusses the questions related to granting legal personhood to AI entities.
The third section explores ethical, cultural, and value-based issues in human-robot interaction. It also debates the robot’s assistance, its potential function in religious settings, and the complexities of value alignment. Meanwhile, the last section conveys the legal challenges posed by AI’s integration into society. It examines the need for the evolution of consumer, criminal, and constitutional laws to be consistent with intelligent systems.
The authors, Woodrow Barfield, Yueh-Hsuan Weng, and Ugo Pagallo, are experts in AI-related legal issues and present diverse perspectives from around the globe. The book also offers case studies on ethical dilemmas emerging from interactions with robots.
