Ep. 65 Artificial intelligence & speech rights

How should we think about speech rights in the age of artificial
intelligence and advanced robotics?


On today’s episode of So to Speak, we are joined by First
Amendment scholars Ronald Collins and David Skover. They are the
authors of the new book, Robotica: Speech Rights & Artificial
Intelligence.


From the printing press to the internet, advances in
communications technology often upset the established order and
spawn demands for censorship. There is little reason to suspect
advances in artificial intelligence will be treated differently.
As free speech advocates, how should we respond to these demands?


To answer that question, Collins and Skover argue that we need to
take a step back and ask some more fundamental questions about
the values we seek to advance in protecting speech in the first
place.
