Introduction Introduction

euRobotics Topics Group
"Ethical, Legal and Socio-Economic Issues" (ELSE)

http://www.pt-ai.org/TG-ELS

We are the experts on matters of ethical, legal and socio-economic policy (ELS) in the European robotics association, called "euRobotics". The European Commission and euRobotics have entered into a public-private "partnership for robotics in Europe" - this partnership is called SPARC. SPARC is currently running the biggest non-military funding program in robotics, world-wide (in H2020). We contributed to the euRobotics and BDVA "Strategic Research, Innovation and Deployment Agenda" for a European AI PPP [public-private partnership], 06.06.2019.

Our themes: There is public concern that robotics poses a threat to society (job security, privacy, quality of life, peace, labour safety, product safety, responsibility/liability, etc. etc.), and there is no established framework of policy, legal and technical standards to address these challenges. The ELS topics group runs and supports activities between robotics research, robotics industry, policy makers, opinion makers and end-users and advises these stakeholders on the complex issues at hand. Its members work on ethical, legal and socio-economic problems of robotics, with expertise from a variety of backgrounds.

- We published a Position Paper on Ethical, Legal and Socio-economic Issues in Robotics (2017)
