Europe’s robots to become ‘electronic persons’ under draft plan
If all you want to do is laugh at the EU, from an American perspective, it’s an okay article. If you actually care about what the EU does, or are interested in robotics, it’s a horrible article. It doesn’t offer any information about who proposed it, what parties support it,how to read it, how to participate in the larger debate, or even what’s really in the “plan”.
