Robots\u2019 ability to learn from experience and take independent decisions has made them suitable for human-like interaction with its environment. In future, if a robot commits a mistake or omits a task, authorities should be able to trace back to the manufacturer or owner to check if the robot could have avoided the harmful behaviour. Through this legislation, manufacturers and owners could be held accountable for the machine\u2019s action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Logic of legislation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While a framework to regulate robotics is essential, the need for one is \u2018imminent\u2019 and not \u2018immediate\u2019, believes Patrick Schwarzkopf, the head of one of the Germany\u2019s largest industry associations. He said that legislation like this would be needed \u201cin 50 years, but not in 10 years\u201d. A legislative framework around self-driving cars is probably a more immediate need.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/small-biz\/security-tech\/technology\/call-them-electronic-persons-because-bots-are-people-too\/articleshow\/56639745.cms\">http:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/small-biz\/security-tech\/...639745.cms<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The proposal primarily budgets for the fact that emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning may mature to surpass human intelligence in the future.
