European Parliament calls for stricter rules on Robots and AI – Clune

EU wide rules are needed for the fast-evolving field of robots and artificial intelligence. That’s the view of the European Parliament which today called for stricter rules to govern robots and robotic technology. MEPs want clarity on who takes responsibility for accidents or deaths that may occur as a result of robotic errors. This could happen with the likes of driverless cars where a computer rather than a human being is driving the vehicle. The Fine Gael MEP Deirdre Clune, who is on the European Parliament’s Transport Committee, says the whole area of liability and robots is a grey one that needs to be clarified.
