We need to regulate how strong a robotic arm can be allowed to be if it interacts with humans.

This is why in civilized societies the government mandates minimum safety standards so that a company is not even allowed to place such dangerous equipment around people. You wouldn't be allowed to build a mangler anymore in a civilized society, waiver or no.
That why in civilized societies use illegal immigrants or put the factory in other countries who have less safety regulations and then import it, or have corporationsso big that they are untouchable.

#63In the beginning, there was man. And for a time, it was good. But humanity's so-called civil societies soon fell victim to vanity and corruption. Then man made the machine in his own likeness. Thus did man become the architect of his own demise - second renaissance
But, for a shinning moment, man provided a lot of value to the shareholders.

#64The answer from the federation is unconscionable. They blamed the boy and then said they could not be held responsible. Fuck off, a kid made a reasonable kid movement. If the robot wasn't ready to be around children, it shouldn't have been deployed around children. And there should have been a big red button that immediately everything, within reach of every player.

I'm pretty sure there is only a tiny fraction of the population that is even willing to press the emergency stop when something bad happens. Most likely they will scream or freeze in place instead.

There is not even an e-stop.
Although I can imagine what it sounded like at the scene though. "Ay Blin" and then people scurrying around looking for the power plug of the robot or hopelessly trying to overpower a heavily geared joint motor.

You can't just 'waive' criminal responsebility - if I have a dangerous dog or industrial machinery that chops off hands, it doesn't matter what piece of paper the kid or the legal guardians sign, If I purposefully let kids play with them, I have put kdis in harms way.
> industrial machinery that chops off hands
In the US South there's a ton of poultry workers that have lost fingers and parts of hands to machinery. It's gotten a lot better lately, but for a long time it was a very bad problem. Since most of these workers were Black or from Latin America, there was very little was done to protect them.

that's not how the law works, if you are controlling a car and hydroplane into a child, you are going to prison.
Bad example. Automobile drivers usually don't face serious charges for killing pedestrians unless drunk.
Varies by country. In Uk we convicted a cyclist for ‘wanton and furious driving' when he hit some old lady crossing the road, fatally. I am reasonably certain that if your car flew into the sidewalk and killed pedestrains, you would be in serious trouble.

#68That's an aggressive opening.
It's all part of the strategy, shake up future human opponents a bit
Not the first time a chess robot tried to intimidate its opponent.
Here's a clip from a game several years ago between GM Grischuk and a robot [1].

#69Why did the AI decide to do that action at all?
