| Description: | Select Guide Rating Addressing the legal implications of the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in society, Abbott argues that the law should not discriminate between people and AI when they perform the same tasks. This nuanced examination of technology is for anyone interested in the legal, social, and ethical issues associated with AI. AI and people do not compete on a level-playing field. Self-driving vehicles may be safer than human drivers, but laws often penalize such technology. People may provide superior customer service, but businesses are automating to reduce their taxes. AI may innovate more effectively, but an antiquated legal framework constrains inventive AI. In The Reasonable Robot, Ryan Abbott argues that the law should not discriminate between AI and human behavior and proposes a new legal principle that will ultimately improve human well-being. This work should be read by anyone interested in the rapidly evolving relationship between AI and the law. |
