1. Legal limits of the AI
software development:
what should be taken into
account?

2. «Humans, who are limited by slow biological
evolution, couldn't compete, and would be
superseded [by the AI]»
Stephen Hawking
for the BBC, 2014

3. ‚Prohibition of the
„thinking
machines” and
establishment of
the Mentat pcaste’
Franck Herbert,
„Dune Universe”

4. ‘Limitation of the
operation period of
the androids’
Philipp K. Dick, “Do
Androids Dream of
Electric Sheep?”/Blade
Runner Universe

5. Asimov’s Laws of Robotics
1. A robot may not injure a human being or,
through inaction, allow a human being to
come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by
human beings except where such orders
would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence
as long as such protection does not
conflict with the First or Second Laws.

6. Oren Etzioni Proposals for A.I.
1. An A.I. system must be subject to the full
gamma of laws that apply to its human
operator
2. An A.I. system must clearly disclose that
it is not human
3. An A.I. system cannot retain or disclose
confidential information without explicit
approval from the source of that
information

7. Why the regulation is needed?
To provide predictable and sufficiently
clear conditions under which enterprises
could develop applications and plan their
business models;
To ensure that the EU and its Member
States maintain control over the
regulatory standards to be set, so as not
to be forced to adopt and live with
standards set by others.

8. 1.‘rules must not affect the process of
research, innovation and development in
robotics’
2.‘whereas a gradualist, pragmatic and
cautious approach… should be adopted… with
regard to future initiatives on robotics and AI
so as to ensure that we do not stifle
innovation’
3.’the importance of measures to help small
and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups in
the robotics sector’

9. Challenges of AI development
1. Social and economic
2. Ethical
3. Legal

10. • complementing human
capabilities and not replacing
them;
• guarantees that humans have
control over intelligent
machines at all times;
• special attention to the
development of an emotional
connection between humans
and robots.
PRINCIPLES OF REGULATION?

11. Emotional
connection
Still, providing a
possibility to identify
that one is dealing not
with human, but robot

12. Control while decision-
making
• safeguards and the possibility of human
and verification need to be built into the
of automated and algorithmic decision-
• ‘access to the source code, input data, and
construction details to investigate accidents
damage caused by smart robots’
• it should always be possible to supply the
rationale behind any decision taken with the
of AI that can have a substantive impact on
or more persons’ lives (“black box”
requirement).

13. • ‘the responsibility of designers of robotics and
artificial intelligence to develop products to be
safe, secure and fit for data protection
regulations’.
• 'to ensure civil law regulations in the robotics
sector are consistent with the General Data
Protection Regulation'
• 'a review of rules and criteria regarding the use
of cameras and sensors in robots'
• 'compliance with principles of data protection:
privacy by design and privacy by default, data
minimisation, purpose limitation, transparent
control mechanisms for data subjects and
appropriate remedies'
DATA PROTECTION

14. Certification
CONTROL SYSTEM WITHIN THE EU
Establishing of EU Agency for
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
Creation of the system of registration
of advanced robots for specific
categories of robots.
Development of the criteria for the
classification of robots.

15. AI & robotic taxes
Special tax regime to
fund the Universal
Basic Income

16. “AI is a rare case where I think we
need to be proactive in regulation
instead of reactive. Because I
think by the time we are reactive
in AI regulation, it’s too late”
Elon Musk,
15th July 2017
Why legal
regulation of AI
is needed?

17. Thank you
for the
attention
