La regolazione della Robotica e dell'Intelligenza artificiale:il dibattito, le proposte, le prospettive. Alcuni spunti di riflessione.

The paper aims at investigating the present debate on the state of the art and the regulatory perspectives for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, with particular attention to the opportunity to establish an independent body with monitoring functions, evaluation of existing rules, elaboration of regulatory proposals, as well as quasi-jurisdictional and adjudication functions. The challenges faced in the experimentation of robotic systems in operational environments tackle the passage of certain technologies from laboratory to reality, from design and prototype development to its concrete deployment, with all the consequences in terms of acceptance of the technologies themselves. Another problem concerns the experimentation of special and derogatory pilot rules in their effective functioning. Some references to the Japanese experience are given in the present essay, to present a case that leads to hypothesize, in conclusion, normative experiments on Robotics and AI in the European environment, especially under the coordinating role of an authority acting at the European level, developing regulatory guidelines, monitoring the results of the experiments, and identifying the best practices.
