Human-Law-Robot: Toward a Governance System, that Co-Evolves with Science and Technology
人間・法・ロボット —法制度と共進化する統治システムのあり方を求めて—
This academic paper explores how legal systems and governance must co-evolve alongside advances in robotics, artificial intelligence, and Society 5.0 cyber-physical systems. It contrasts traditional top-down legal enforcement with a decentralized, iterative model where autonomous technology and human society interact dynamically. The paper also examines the changing responsibilities of robotics researchers and developers as they contribute to shaping societal values and regulatory frameworks.
Summary and content fields are drawn from the document text and are pending editorial review.
Who issued it
Who it governs
This paper is for robotics researchers, AI developers, legal scholars, and policymakers interested in the interaction between technology, law, and societal governance.
What the document contains
The document addresses the structural relationship between law, society, and autonomous robotics within the context of Japan's Society 5.0 initiative. It examines traditional command-and-control regulation compared against agile, decentralized governance models, and discusses the expanded ethical and social responsibilities of robotics researchers and developers.
The document does not provide binding legal regulations, specific enforcement penalties, concrete technical compliance standards, or exhaustive definitions for every category of artificial intelligence.
- Governance systems must co-evolve with rapid advancements in science and technology rather than relying solely on traditional top-down enforcement.
- Society 5.0 utilizes cyber-physical systems and advanced robotics to address societal challenges, requiring decentralized and agile regulatory frameworks.
- The integration of autonomous technologies into human environments transforms the roles and responsibilities of robotics researchers and developers.
- Comparing Japanese governance strategies with international approaches like the European Union AI Act highlights differing philosophies on AI oversight and legal liability.
