“…This point of view is supported by governmental organizations, for example the European Parliament resolution on a comprehensive European industrial policy on AI and robotics notes that "automated weapons systems should continue to have a human-in-command approach to artificial intelligence" [46]. A survey from 2015 has indicated that the majority of people opposes use of LAWS for offensive purposes and supports international ban of LAWS [47]. If International Humanitarian Law does allow the use of LAWS, it would be the up to robot engineers to create algorithms that determine the extent of human involvement for ethical robotic warfare [48].…”

“…The study of the ethics of robotics, or roboethics, was pioneered by by Gianmarco Veruggio in the early 2000s [5]. Since then, roboethics and AI ethics have become widely discussed topics, with the number of publications mentioning either of the terms increasing tenfold in the last 5 years [6]. Although many organizations already propose well-considered ethical principles for robotics and AI, the need remains for enforceable ethical regulations on governmental and international levels.…”

<p>Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing all spheres of human life. From industrial processes to graphic design, the implementation of automated intelligent systems is changing how industries work. The spread of robots and AI systems has triggered academic institutions to closely examine how these technologies may affect the humanity—this is how the fields of roboethics and AI ethics have been born. The identification of ethical issues for robotics and AI and creation of ethical frameworks were the first steps to creating a regulatory environment for these technologies. In this paper, we focus on regulatory efforts in Europe and North America to create enforceable regulation for AI and robotics. We describe and compare ethical principles, policies, and regulations that have been proposed by government organizations for the design and use of robots and AI. We also discuss proposed international regulation for robotics and AI. This paper tries to highlight the need for a comprehensive, enforceable, and agile policy to ethically regulate technology today and in the future. Through reviewing existing policies, we conclude that the European Unition currently leads the way in defining roboethics and AI ethical principles and implementing them into policy. Our findings suggest that governments in Europe and North America are aware of the ethical risks that robotics and AI pose, and are engaged in policymaking to create regulatory policies for these new technologies.</p> <p> </p>

“…Robot recommendations that lead to product purchase is an interesting event for sellers; however, some researchers argue that the benefits to consumers should also be fully taken into consideration [32] [33]. They are worried that robotic recommendations could lead to unnecessary purchases for consumers sometimes.…”

Successful cases of robot sales promotions have been increasing. Users tend to make purchases when robots properly interact with users. Most robot interactions/recommendations are created using specific products and locations within the context. Therefore, developers have to prepare a new recommendation interaction each time with each new product, which creates difficulty in responding smoothly to store's requests.In this study, we propose Playful Recommendation, which is a situation-independent sales promotion method. This method stimulates pleasant emotions instead of presenting product information to the user, and the proposed method is less product-and location-dependent than other methods. Playful Recommendation was effective in two fieldworks. In both cases, the Playful Recommendation by the robot resulted in higher sales than the normal condition. Furthermore we have shown that the proposed method can be applied to a variety of robots and has the possibility of promoting products even when the recommended products change.

“…Further, we have decided to include both AI and robotics policies in this overview. There are significant similarities in the ethics of robotics and AI, especially if we view robots as embodied AI [6]. The governments have also dedicated more attention to regulation of AI, most likely because AI technology is being actively incorporated in all aspects of life.…”
