"The only book of its kind to look at how our legal system needs to change to accommodate a world in which machines, in addition to people, make decisions"--
Argues that the world's legal systems need to change in order to accomodate the rise of artificial intelligence.
With the growing presence of AI in our daily life, major legal issues arise. For example, can an AI surgeon commit medical malpractice? If you place your children in the care of an AI babysitter, are you liable for everything that goes wrong or is the baby-sitter's manufacturer? Can a robot qualify as "adult entertainment"? These are not idle questions. AI, of weak form, is here to stay: Siri and Google car are only a tip of a rapidly emerging iceberg, to mix metaphors. This study, by a professional attorney specializing in the intersection of artificial intelligence and the law, is the first book-length attempt to elucidate these problems and to propose possible solutions to them. Organized in three parts (each addressing the issues relevant to a particular Asimov's law of robotics), it deals with important issues such as the above-mentioned and others: robot ownership of property, AI and the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution, regulation of AI and the conceptions of robot rights. After an introductory chapter considering Asimov's robotics laws and other science-fictional tropes and concepts, from Star Trek to Star Wars and many points in between, and comparing science-fictional robots to today's reality of weak AI everywhere, the author delves into those and other issues that are becoming more and more important with each day.
