“The Reasonable Robot” Looks At The Intersection Of Artificial Intelligence (AI) And Law
Chapter three is labeled with the book’s title, “Reasonable Robots.” It starts with a clear overview of liability and tort concepts as applied to AI. One key concept is the question of what is reasonable. For instance, current car accident law tends to view the actions of individuals and compare it to what a “reasonable person” would have done. So what happens when autonomous vehicles are statistically safer than people? Do we start incentivizing people to stop driving by comparing their actions to what a “reasonable robot” would have done? It’s a very intriguing concept.
Chapters 4 & 5 focus on AI systems as inventors and what rights they may have. I, again, answer that simply with a “none.”
The next chapter, six, again makes the novice mistake of ignoring the difference between AI and AGI. Punishing AI is no more logical than punishing the screwdriver used to kill somebody. “Bad! Bad screwdriver!”
