This report was completed as a part of the second phase of the larger SIENNA Project’s (www.sienna-project.eu) comparative analysis of the legal and human rights requirements applicable to AI and robotics. It is an initial attempt at mapping of the United States of America’s (“US”) laws and regulations regarding artificial intelligence (“AI”) and robotics, with a special focus on a few key issues, including: human rights, new AI & robotics-specific legislation, new regulatory bodies, significant case law, and any other relevant legal developments. It was completed during the summer of 2018, and its content reflects that time frame. Noteworthy elements of the US report are the lack of any cohesive federal policy for the development, implementation, or regulation of AI or robotics technologies; the lack of binding federal case law; the lack of any national regulatory bodies; the patchwork of state and local law and regulation; and the powerful role that private industry standards and guidelines have so far played in dictating how these technologies develop. Also of note is the disproportionate number of existing laws and regulation having to do with drones or other autonomous devices. This report will be integrated, along with similar reports from both EU and other non-EU countries into a larger comprehensive SIENNA report documenting the legal, including human rights, requirements applicable to AI and robotics, which will aim to show the convergences and distinctions in the regulation of AI and robotics and the challenges this presents for future innovation. |
