Robotics and the EU

I generally find briefings from the European Parliamentary Research Service Blog helpful, but the quotation from Stephen Hawking which prefaces it is more inspiring than this single page pdf.

‘I am an optimist and I believe that we can create AI for the good of the world. That it can work in harmony with us. We simply need to be aware of the dangers, identify them, employ the best possible practice and management, and prepare for the consequences well in advance’
