3. Artificial Intelligence and the Law
‘Should there be a new category to describe robots, similar to other legal categories such as natural persons, legal persons, animals or objects?’
European Parliament
Effects of its use
Chatbots
Drones
Bitcoin
Driverless carshttp://www.stockfreeimages.com/p1/drone.html
What legal responsibility arises from a robot’s harmful actions?
What will the effect of a robot developing autonomous and cognitive features be?
How can a machine be held responsible –wholly or partly – for its acts or omissions?
Machine learning technology and AI may not strictly be human, but its uses,its applications and its results must still be subject to the rule of law.
Lawyers and robots need to work together as partners for the future.Lawyers and robots need to work together as partners for the future.

Good afternoon. God bless you.
The United States will step up to the cost of a new challenges
of the American people that will share the fact that we created
the problem. They were attacked and so that they have to say
that all the task of the final days of war that I will not be able
to get this done. The promise of the men and women who
were still going to take out the fact that the American people
have fought to make sure that they have to be able to protect
our part. It was a chance to stand together to completely look
for the commitment to borrow from the American people. And
the fact is the men and women in uniform and the millions of
our country with the law system that we should be a strong
stretcks of the forces that we can afford to increase our spirit
of the American people and the leadership of our country who
are on the Internet of American lives.
Thank you very much. God bless you, and God bless the
United States of America.
