Outline

This paper examines the risks of rapidly evolving physically embodied AI (EAI) systems and presents policy responses. While EAI systems can exist, learn, reason, and act in the physical world, their malicious use can pose serious risks, including physical harm, mass surveillance, and economic and social disruption. Because existing regulations for industrial robots and autonomous vehicles fail to adequately address the risks posed by EAI systems, this paper provides a taxonomy of the physical, informational, economic, and social risks posed by EAI systems and analyzes policies in the US, EU, and UK to highlight the limitations of existing frameworks. Finally, it presents policy recommendations for the safe and beneficial deployment of EAI systems, including mandatory testing and certification systems, a clear accountability framework, and strategies to manage the potential economic and social impacts of EAI.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Provides a systematic classification of various risk factors in EAI systems.
Analysis of EAI-related policies of major countries such as the US, EU, and UK and presentation of Limitations
Provide specific policy recommendations for the safe and beneficial deployment of EAI systems (mandatory testing and certification, clear accountability frameworks, economic and social impact management strategies, etc.)
Limitations:
Further review is needed to determine the effectiveness and feasibility of the policy recommendations presented in the paper.
Limited to the analysis of a specific country's policies, there is a possibility that the policy Takeaways of other countries may not be taken into account.
Given the rapid pace of advancement in EAI technology, the long-term applicability of policy recommendations needs to be reviewed.
