ЭТИЧЕСКИЕ И ПРАВОВЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ РОБОТОТЕХНИКИ: ЕВРОПЕЙСКИЙ ВЗГЛЯД
THE ETHICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS OF ROBOTICS: THE EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to a critical review of the European Parliament Resolution of February 16, 2017 on the regulations in the field of robotics. The authors analyze the approaches of the creators of the law in terms of perception of autonomous robots as subjects of law and pay attention to the legal liability for damage caused by robots. The authors conclude that the concept of robots as the subject of law and the possibility of endowing robots with artificial intelligence with the qualities of a legal or electronic entity are arguable. First of all, the legal personality of robots raises the problem of responsibility and protection of the rights of potential victims. The resolution of the European Parliament emphasizes the need for such a legal structure that will ensure the harmonization of the interests of developers and sellers of autonomous robots, users and victims – the imposition of liability on the manufacturer or liability insurance.
