“ There’s a growing concern now about robot ethics, but what’s missing from those discussions is pragmatic lawyers thinking about what’s going to happen in the future.”
Robots of future may need a good lawyer— San Francisco Chronicle
This article discusses some fascinating issues in the inevitable field of robo-litigation, though the title mistakenly suggests that robots need to lawyer-up as opposed to the humans interacting with them. I think the former would be a lot more interesting than the latter, so maybe I should hang a robo-shingle.
Who is Rosie the Robot Maid from the Jetsons going to call when she has questions about employment law? Where will WALL-E go for environmental law advice about brownfields? Who will defend Johnny 5 in front of a military tribunal for going AWOL?
I can see my commercial now:
Are you a robot that’s been hurt on the job? Are Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics preventing you from getting what you deserve? Call Mark Pike, Robottorney-at-Law to help you with your robo-law needs. *Bleep bloop bleep*
Trust me, robots, you need a lawyer. The President has his eye on you.
