Robotic Justice | Huffington Post
From Roombas to drones, scientists are developing machines to be more and more self-sufficient. But even if they’re programmed to do good—what happens when something goes wrong? If a robot ‘accidentally’ kills someone, who’s to blame? Josh Zepps interviews the following guests:
- Peter Asaro @PeterAsaro (New York, NY) Professor at The New School
- David Hanson (Dallas, TX) Robotics Designer
- Noel Sharkey @StopTheRobotWar (Sheffield, United Kingdom) Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
- Rachel Vanlandingham (St. Petersburg, FL) Assistant Professor of Law
- Mary Wareham @marywareham (Washington, DC) Director of the Arms division of Human Rights Watch
