About the Video:
Many of the ethical issues in LAWS and robotics turn on topics commonly treated in the ethics of neurotechnology, such as our understanding of the brain and nervous system, prospects for the enhancement of its capacities, and the related ethical, legal and social issues (ELSI). Over the past few years, a global discourse on the neuroethics of LAWS has emerged with a common set of themes. This talk reviews some of those ELSI issues and the global patterns in that discourse.
