Teresa Da Cunha Lopes (Michoacan U Saint Nicholas Hidalgo) has posted “Navigating the Legal Labyrinth: The Avant-Garde Challenges of Robotics in the Modern Workforce” on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
As robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly integrate into the workforce, they bring technological innovation and a host of unprecedented legal challenges. This article examines key issues such as liability in cases of malfunction or harm, the legal status of autonomous machines, intellectual property concerns, and the implications of replacing human labor with robotic systems. It also addresses the ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks needed to ensure that the integration of robotics into the workforce is both legally sound and socially responsible. By delving into these avant-garde challenges, the article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the legal implications of robotics in the modern workforce and propose potential pathways for future legislation and policy development.
