Over the next 10-20 years, AI will raise legal questions in three areas: responsibility, rights, and ethics. Who or what should be liable if AI causes harm, or own the IP if AI creates new inventions? Should AI rights ever be protected? How can we create and enforce moral codes for AI? Jacob Turner will argue that the first step in answering any of these questions is not to write new rules, but rather to design the institutions which can create them. In this lecture Jacob will aim to clarify the problems we face and go on to present a blue-print for how they can be solved.
