European Parliament 2014-2019 Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs 2015/2103(INL) 8.9.2016 DRAFT OPINION of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs for the Committee on Legal Affairs with recommendations to the Commission on Civil Law Rules on Robotics (2015/2103(INL)) Rapporteur: Michał Boni (Initiative – Rule 46 of the Rules of Procedure) (*) Associated committee – Rule 54 of the Rules of Procedure PA\1103738EN.docx EN PE589.153v01-00 United in diversity EN PA_INL PE589.153v01-00 EN 2/4 PA\1103738EN.docx SUGGESTIONS The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs calls on the Committee on Legal Affairs, as the committee responsible: – to incorporate the following suggestions into its motion for a resolution: A. Whereas the development of robotics will bring positive effects for the European Union economy but also for the daily life of individuals; whereas all robotics and artificial intelligence technology have to be developed and used with due regard for the fundamental rights enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights (CFR), in particular for the rights of data protection, privacy, liberty and security; Ethical principles 1. Considers that guiding ethical rules and principles for the design, engineering and use of robots and artificial intelligence are needed to complement the European legal framework; 2. Believes that robotics and artificial intelligence, especially those with built-in autonomy and the possibility of self-learning, should be subjected to the primary robotics laws or principles, such as a principle that a robot may do not harm to a human being and must obey a human being; these principles should also be in compliance with the rights and principles enshrined in the CFR, in particular human dignity, the respect for private and family life, the protection of personal data, the freedom of expression and information, equality and non-discrimination, solidarity, and citizens’ rights and justice; Privacy and data protection 3. Reiterates that the right to the protection of private life and the right to the protection of personal data as enshrined in Article 7 and 8 CFR and Article 16 TFEU apply to all areas of robotics and artificial intelligence and that the Union legal framework for data protection must be fully complied with; 4. Calls on the Commission to ensure that any Union legislation on robotics and artificial intelligence will include rules on privacy and data protection, the requirement to follow principles of privacy by design and by default as well as principles of proportionality and necessity regarding the processing of data; calls for the review of rules, principles and criteria regarding the use of cameras and sensors in robots and artificial intelligence in accordance with the Union legal framework for data protection; Security of data and data systems and the flow of data 5. Underlines that the free flow of data is a basis for the digital economy and is essential for the development of robotics; highlights that high security of robotics and artificial intelligence systems as a whole, including their internal data systems and data flows, is crucial for the adequate utilisation of robots and artificial intelligence; stresses that a high level of safety, security and privacy of data used for the communication between people and robots and artificial intelligence, together with high quality of voice recognition systems, has to be ensured; calls on the Commission and Member States to support and incentivise the PA\1103738EN.docx 3/4 PE589.153v01-00 EN development of the necessary technology, including security by design and channels of communication; Drones (Remotely piloted aircrafts systems, RPAS) 6. Underlines that when personal data are processed by RPAS, whether by public authorities for law enforcement purposes or by private or public entities for other purposes, the right to the protection of private life and the right to the protection of personal data as enshrined in Article 7 and 8 CFR and Article 16 TFEU apply and the Union legal framework for data protection must be fully complied with; Code of conduct 7. Considers that appropriate legislation should be accompanied by encouragement of a soft law framework, code of conduct or public-private partnerships, in order to ensure the cooperation of the industry and robotic designers with public authorities; believes that such instruments should focus on practical solutions to ensure privacy and data protection, the security and ethics of the robotics industry, and the proper use of robots and artificial intelligence on a daily basis; PE589.153v01-00 EN 4/4 PA\1103738EN.docx
