  • Purpose
     A concern that AI and Robots bring “hard case” to modern law system is widely known, and there are much discussions about how to govern relations between natural persons and AI/Robots. About this time,  We invite Ugo Pagallo who is a author of  a novel book “The Law of Robots” which is examined Law of AI/Robots to referred to broad notions from Roman law, current US law system,  continental law systems and philosophical argument, and be given a presentation how should law systems govern relations between AI/Robots and natural persons.

    • Theme:The Hard Cases of AI & Robotics, and their Legal Governance
       
    • Summary:
      Much of the 2013 book on The Laws of Robots has to do with prospective trends in the field of robotics. Five years later, we could dare to affirm the book has aged well. Most of its forecasting on the hard legal cases of robotics, from new forms of agency and accountability for artificial agents to innovative schemes of intelligent car sharing through self-driving cars, have stood the test of time. Should the conclusion be that nothing new has appeared under the sun of legal robotics over the last 60 months? Here, we should mention a possible misunderstanding and the role of the secondary rules of the law. On the one hand, in today's debate on the legal status of some smart robots and AI systems, scholars and policy makers alike often confuse the legal agenthood of these artificial agents with the status of legal personhood: This is a mistake that we should resist. On the other hand, as it is said in the preface of the Japanese edition of The Laws of Robots, should the author rewrite his book from scratch, he would now follow Japanese thinking and put more emphasis on the role of the “secondary rules” of the law. Forms of legal experimentalism, procedural regularity, and also federal competition among legal systems, can help us understand what kind of primary rules we may wish for our AI robots.
