TL;DR

This paper examines existing international frameworks for robot ethics and rights, proposing a structured approach for developing ethical and legal regulations for AI and robotics in Turkey. It analyzes global trends in robot ethics legislation and advocates for proactive policy development to address emerging challenges in human-robot interaction, intellectual property, and autonomy in the context of Industry 5.0 and cognitive computing systems.

ABSTRACT

It is very important to adhere strictly to ethical and social influences when delivering most of our life to artificial intelligence systems. With industry 4.0, the internet of things, data analysis and automation have begun to be of great importance in our lives. With the Yapanese version of Industry 5.0, it has come to our attention that machine-human interaction and human intelligence are working in harmony with the cognitive computer. In this context, robots working on artificial intelligence algorithms co-ordinated with the development of technology have begun to enter our lives. But the consequences of the recent complaints of the Robots have been that important issues have arisen about how to be followed in terms of intellectual property and ethics. Although there are no laws regulating robots in our country at present, laws on robot ethics and rights abroad have entered into force. This means that it is important that we organize the necessary arrangements in the way that robots and artificial intelligence are so important in the new world order. In this study, it was aimed to examine the existing rules of machine and robot ethics and to set an example for the arrangements to be made in our country, and various discussions were given in this context.

Motivation & Objective

• To analyze current global regulations on robot ethics and rights.
• To identify ethical and legal challenges arising from increasing AI and robotics integration in society.
• To propose a model for ethical and legal governance of robotics in Turkey.
• To support the development of national policies aligned with international standards in AI and robotics.

Proposed method

• Systematic review of existing international laws and ethical guidelines on robotics and AI.
• Analysis of technological trends such as Industry 5.0, cognitive computing, and human-robot collaboration.
• Comparison of ethical frameworks from countries with enacted robot ethics legislation.
• Identification of key ethical issues including intellectual property, autonomy, and accountability in AI systems.
• Synthesis of findings into a policy framework suitable for national implementation.
• Use of case-based reasoning to model ethical decision-making in robotics applications.

Experimental results

Research questions

• RQ1 What are the current international standards and regulations governing robot ethics and rights?
• RQ2 How do emerging technologies like Industry 5.0 and cognitive computing affect the need for ethical and legal frameworks in robotics?
• RQ3 What are the key ethical challenges related to AI autonomy, intellectual property, and human-robot interaction?
• RQ4 What model can be developed for national-level robotics ethics and rights regulation in Turkey?
• RQ5 How can existing global frameworks be adapted for local policy implementation?

Key findings

• No national laws on robot rights or ethics currently exist in Turkey, creating a regulatory gap.
• Several countries have already enacted laws on robot ethics, indicating a growing global trend toward legal governance of AI systems.
• The integration of AI and robotics in Industry 5.0 necessitates proactive ethical and legal frameworks to manage human-robot collaboration.
• Intellectual property and accountability issues are central concerns in the development of robot rights and ethics rules.
• Existing international frameworks provide a viable foundation for national policy development in Turkey.
• A comprehensive, adaptable policy model for robotics ethics can be derived from global best practices and tailored to national needs.
