Europe may give Robots Legal Status

Post by Techmomof2 »

The Democrats found their new voter base.

In the 21st century West, unborn babies are not people, but robots have legal "personhood."

In 2017, the European Union released legal guidelines and questions concerning artificial intelligence in the future. One particular section that has robotics experts in an uproar is the EU's discussion of a "legal status for robots in the long run" so they could be "responsible for making good any damage they may cause."

The commission said it is considering "creating a specific legal status for robots in the long run, so that at least the most sophisticated autonomous robots could be established as having the status of electronic persons responsible for making good any damage they may cause, and possibly applying electronic personality to cases where robots make autonomous decisions or otherwise interact with third parties independently."

It's akin to a corporation being considered a person in a legal setting.

Looks like the Euros have found a way to ruin CW's dreams of a sex robot harem.
