Who should be arrested when a self-driving car runs over a pedestrian? How to place criminal blame when autonomous weapons make life and death decisions? If things go wrong, could we excuse ourselves just by saying: "the robot did it"? Or should we simply assume that our criminal legislation is outdated and replace it with some other alternative?
If anything, these questions make plain that it is challenging to say who is guilty when intelligent machines --and not individuals-- are the ones calling the shots. Join us for a seminar where we will reflect on these provocative challenges, the policy debates they are already sparking and the alternatives to tackle them.
