RLUK Digital Shift Forum (April 2022) - The Reasonable Robot: Artificial Intelligence and the Law by Ryan Abbott, Professor of Law and Health Sciences, University of Surrey

Title of  talk:
The Reasonable Robot: Artificial Intelligence and the Law
 
Presenter:
Ryan Abbott, Professor of Law and Health Sciences, University of Surrey

Focus of talk:
AI and people do not compete on a level-playing field. Self-driving vehicles may be safer than human drivers, but laws often penalise such technology. People may provide superior customer service, but businesses are automating to reduce their taxes. AI may innovate more effectively, but an antiquated legal framework constrains inventive AI. In The Reasonable Robot, Ryan  argues that the law should not discriminate between AI and human behaviour and proposes a new legal principle that will ultimately improve human well-being.
