Alexandra Tsvetkova, Director of LIBRe Foundation, gave a presentation on the legal and ethical aspects of autonomous systems and some of the critical aspects of the transition from automation to autonomy. Some of the issues discussed with the audience included questions like: how to create a legal framework for something that does not yet exist (SAE L4/L5), how are the competences on regulating autonomous cars allocated between Member States and EU, and what are the applicable rules for responsibility, data protection and cybersecurity. Key legal challenges that have been addressed during the session included: regulating the minimum set of data needed for establishing liability of parties involved in the design and development of autonomous systems; regulating the access to (safety-critical) data; regulating the access to transport data and vehicle data; protection of personal data; industrial data ownership and the blurring of the boundaries between personal and industrial data; the free competition between the parties on the same market; and so on. By giving examples with autonomous cars and drones, Alexandra Tsvetkova discusses the need for evolution of the legal framework and the respective ethical standards for development of (responsible) artificial intelligence.
