Tirsdagskaffeseminar (TKS) er åpent for alle og krever ingen påmelding. TKS organiseres nå av den nye forskergruppen Jus og teknologi (JOT), og er en videreføring og bevaring av Tirsdagskaffeseminarene som ble etablert av Senter for rettsinformatikk allerede i 1973.
Det serveres kaffe og te, velkommen!
Om seminaret:
Civilian drones are gaining more independence in their varied functions from human involvement which renders them an ‘autonomous’ status. This aspect is now gaining regulatory importance within the European Union, United Kingdom, and Australia as their regulations mention explicit definition of autonomous operations. However, in doing so they tend to follow a strictly objective approach where either a drone would operate fully autonomously or not at all. Hence, they disregard varied levels of autonomy. This paper critically analyses such an approach against the prevailing understanding of ‘autonomy’ in the human factor and ergonomics literature, and certain other autonomous technologies such as self-driving cars, autonomous weapon systems, and autonomous maritime ships. I argue that adoption of a spectral approach towards defining autonomy, instead of an objective one, would not only harmonize regulation with technical conceptualization of autonomy but could also tackle various regulatory implications. This paper overall points to the need for thorough assessment of the concept of autonomy for effective regulation of advanced forms of drones.
