from Part IV - Legal Challenges for Human–Robot Interaction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 December 2024
In this concluding chapter, we discuss future directions in law, policy, and regulations for robots that are expressive, humanoid in appearance, becoming smarter, and that are anthropomorphized by users. Given the wide range of skills shown by this emerging class of robots, legal scholars, legislators, and roboticists are beginning to discuss how law, policy, and regulations should be applied to robots that are becoming more like us in form and behavior. For such robots, we propose that human–robot interaction should be the focus of efforts to regulate increasingly smart, expressive, humanoid, and social robots. Therefore, in the context of human–robot interaction, this chapter summarizes our views on future directions of law and policy for robots that are becoming highly social and intelligent, displaying the ability to detect and express emotions, and controversially, in the view of some commentators, beginning to display a rudimentary level of self-awareness.
