ABSTRACT

The proliferation of autonomous systems like unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous vehicles and AI-powered industrial and social robots can benefit society significantly, but these systems also present significant governance challenges in operational, legal, economic, social, and ethical dimensions. Singapore’s role as a front-runner in the trial of autonomous systems presents an insightful case to study whether the current provisional regulations address the challenges. With multiple stakeholder involvement in setting provisional regulations, government stewardship is essential for coordinating robust regulation and helping to address complex issues such as ethical dilemmas and social connectedness in governing autonomous systems.

摘要

无人机、自动驾驶汽车以及人工智能驱动的工业和社交机器人等自主系统的激增可以使社会受益匪浅，但这些系统也在运营、法律、经济、社会和道德层面带来了重大的治理挑战。新加坡作为自主系统试验的领跑者，为研究当前的临时法规是否能够应对这些挑战提供了一个富有洞察力的案例。由于多个利益相关者参与制定临时法规，政府管理对于协调强有力的监管和帮助解决治理自治系统中的道德困境和社会联系等复杂问题至关重要。
