Alongside the intended effects of these innovations are some emerging\, unintended adverse consequences. Legal and political proce sses exist in part to prevent and mitigate such harms. This presentation o ffers a systematic analysis of the emerging routes by which applications o f embodied artificial intelligence—robotics—elicit public policy respo nses. It develops a typology that classifies robotics applications accordi ng to how they interact with individual humans\, large-scale human populat ions\, and specific physical settings\; and whether the robots operate alo ne\, in swarms\, or in integrated cyberenvironments. Each case interacts w ith public policymaking processes in different ways\, spanning tort liabil ity law\, regulatory codes and standards\, and policies for assessing and managing risk. Clear roles emerge for voluntary standards\, international collaboration among governance bodies\, professionals cross-trained in rob otics and public policy\, and institutions that effectively anticipate eme rging problems.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Clinton Andrews\, \n\nAgenda: \n18:00 (UTC+1) / 13:00 (EDT) Welcome and Introduction to Guest Speaker\n18:05 Le cture\n18:45 Questions and Discussions\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.i eee.org/m/415611 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/415611 ORGANIZER:miriam@iimg.com SEQUENCE:29 SUMMARY:IEEE SSIT Lecture: Prof Clint Andrews - Implications of Robotics fo r Public Policy URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/415611 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong><img style="float: right\;" src="h ttps://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/75cb16fa-c775-433a-a 045-87bafcc4f928" alt="" width="503" height="283">Prof Clinton Andrews</st rong> (Center for Urban Policy Research\, Edward J.
