论文摘要
鉴于其在高风险情景中的部署,调节人工智能(AI)已成为必要。本文探讨了将法律人格扩展到AI和机器人的提议,AI和机器人尚未通过公众的视角进行检查。我们提出了两项研究(n = 3,559),以获得人们对现有责任模型的电子法律人格的看法。我们的研究表明,即使这些实体没有得到任何精神状态,人们也希望惩罚自动化代理。此外,人们不认为自动化代理人的惩罚会实现威慑,也不会报应,并且不愿意给予他们法律惩罚前提,即身体独立和资产。总的来说,这些发现表明,惩罚自动化代理人的愿望与其不可行的性能之间存在冲突。我们通过讨论未来的设计和法律决策如何影响公众对自动化代理商的不当行为的反应来得出结论。
Regulating artificial intelligence (AI) has become necessary in light of its deployment in high-risk scenarios. This paper explores the proposal to extend legal personhood to AI and robots, which had not yet been examined through the lens of the general public. We present two studies (N = 3,559) to obtain people's views of electronic legal personhood vis-à-vis existing liability models. Our study reveals people's desire to punish automated agents even though these entities are not recognized any mental state. Furthermore, people did not believe automated agents' punishment would fulfill deterrence nor retribution and were unwilling to grant them legal punishment preconditions, namely physical independence and assets. Collectively, these findings suggest a conflict between the desire to punish automated agents and its perceived impracticability. We conclude by discussing how future design and legal decisions may influence how the public reacts to automated agents' wrongdoings.
