Autonomous Systems and Their Policy, Law, and Governance Implications
Autonomous Systems Policy Initiative, a new Syracuse University-wide effort, is convening faculty and students across disciplines, along with industry experts from the public, private, and non-profit sectors to explore the technology, policy, and wider social implications of autonomous systems.
From self-driving
cars to drone delivery systems, from robotic underwater vessels to smart-home
technologies, autonomous systems are transforming our world—posing complex
social, ethical, and legal questions that demand interdisciplinary,
multi-faceted research.
