human. It should always be possible to find out who is legally responsible for a robot. The messages intended to be conveyed were: We believe robots have the potential to provide immense positive impact to society. We want to encourage responsible robot research. Bad practice hurts us all. Addressing obvious public concerns will help us all make progress. It is important to demonstrate that we, as roboticists, are committed to the best possible standards of practice. To understand the context and consequences of our research, we should work with experts from other disciplines, including: social sciences, law, philosophy and the arts. We should consider the ethics of transparency: are there limits to what should be openly available? When we see erroneous accounts in the press, we commit to take the time to contact the reporting journalists. The EPSRC principles are broadly recognised as a useful starting point. In 2016 Tony Prescott organised a workshop to revise these principles, e.g. to differentiate ethical from legal principles. Judicial development Another comprehensive terminological codification for the legal assessment of the technological developments in the robotics industry has already begun mainly in Asian countries. This progress represents a contemporary reinterpretation of the law (and ethics) in the field of robotics, an interpretation that assumes a rethinking of traditional legal constellations. These include primarily legal liability issues in civil and criminal law. Satya Nadella's laws In June 2016, Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft Corporation, had an interview with the Slate magazine and reflected on what kinds of principles and goals should be considered by industry and society when discussing artificial intelligences: "A.I. must be designed to assist humanity", meaning human autonomy needs to be respected. "A.I. must be transparent" meaning that humans should know and be able to understand how they work. "A.I. must maximize efficiencies without destroying the dignity of people." "A.I. must be designed for intelligent privacy" meaning that it earns trust through guarding their information. "A.I. must have algorithmic accountability so that humans can undo unintended harm. "A.I. must guard against bias" so that they must not discriminate against people. Tilden's "Laws of Robotics" Mark W. Tilden is a robotics physicist who was a pioneer in developing simple robotics. His three guiding principles/rules for robots are: A robot must protect its existence at all costs. A robot must obtain and maintain access to its own power source. A robot must continually
