SUMMARY:AI DAY  Robots\, rights and responsible business: is artificial i
 ntelligence a force for good or an expedient evil?
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) and its many applications are de
 veloping faster than most can keep track of. Law and regulation lag far 
 behind the realities of technology. While AI promises many positive bene
 fits\, its immense potential human rights impacts are evident. Soon\, ma
 chines may make life and death decisions: in medical diagnosis and treat
 ment\, or on (or above) the battlefield. Automation dominates many indus
 tries\, and unmanned vehicles will soon take to the roads.\nWhat does th
 is mean for the workforces of advanced economies and for the populations
  of developing nations who will be denied the benefits of labour-intensi
 ve industrialisation? What about the ethics of algorithms – will human b
 iases infect machines and perpetuate discrimination\, and how will we mo
 nitor and regulate these areas? Within businesses\, engineers and techni
 cians need to think ethics and human rights as well as physics and maths
 . Lawyers advising businesses will increasingly help them grapple with t
 he human rights impacts of their innovations and create frameworks to en
 sure technological advances represent the 'right thing' in more than jus
 t monetary and efficiency terms. Embedding respect for human rights in b
 usiness governance has never been so necessary. This panel will discuss 
 the human rights implications of AI and how lawyers can help businesses 
 address the challenges\, opportunities and dilemmas.
