AI[StudyHall] - Decoding AI Ethics: A Conversation with "Robot Rules" Author Jacob Turner
In this episode of AI[StudyHall], Kirsten catches up with Jacob Turner, a UK barrister and a former Judicial Assistant Lord Mance in the UK Supreme Court, and author of Robot Rules: Regulating Artificial Intelligence. Jacob shares his thoughts on applying existing legal principles - torts, negligence, contracts, otherwise - to AI, where there may be gaps to be filled, and his thoughts on potential future rights of robots (and philosophical Qs of what is "consciousness"). Turner also explains his cover art - two robot hands holding a piece of origami- and how he chose a pink cover for a book on AI policy.
