“…As regulation falls behind technology development, it is harder to keep up with all of the nuances of major technological changes. Villaronga et al (2018) suggest that we use the precautionary principle, often applied to environmental issues (Cullen 2018), together with partnerships between lawyers and regulators. The precautionary principle, defined above, offers four main tenets which include: (1) acting proactively to avoid harm even though there is uncertainty whether harm will occur; (2) expecting the proponents of an activity to shoulder the burden of proof that an activity is safe to undertake; (3) considering alternatives to actions that could be harmful; and (4) making decisions transparent through public involvement (Kriebel et al 2001).…”

In practice, lawyers could help regulators work with technologists and academics on an ongoing basis through established partnerships by advising on how to change regulations over time (Villaronga et al 2018). Addressing AI and rapid technological changes affecting privacy will occur over decades, and constant attention will be required as each new AI development arises.…”

“…Addressing AI and rapid technological changes affecting privacy will occur over decades, and constant attention will be required as each new AI development arises. Research suggests that we may attempt to create a broad stakeholder oriented and dynamic regulatory framework that could address each case as it arises (Villaronga et al 2018).…”

Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence (AI) includes information systems and robotics that mimic and facilitate intelligent human activities such as perception, understanding, action, and learning (Wirtz et al. 2019). AI Applications. An AI application is a computer system utilizing AI capabilities, including human-computer interactions and/or sophisticated data analyses (Wirtz et al. 2019). AI applications can be broken down into three main categories: Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI).

“…offer the same opportunities as humans for social interactions [33], they can nonetheless afford valuable opportunities for social engagement with human users when introduced in specific contexts, and in careful, ethically responsible ways [83,84]. A growing evidence base documents how social robots might function as autonomous tools to support psychological health interventions [42,85], physical therapy and physical health [86,87,88], and other means to amplify or support human therapeutic efforts (see [89,90] In contrast, health interventions where more active participation is required are finding that robots with a more human-like embodiment are more effective.…”

Purpose of review: We provide an outlook on the definitions, laboratory research, and applications of social robots, with an aim to understand what makes a robot social – in the eyes of science and the general public. Recent Findings: Social robots demonstrate their potential when deployed within contexts appropriate to their form and functions. Some examples include companions for the elderly and cognitively impaired individuals, robots within educational settings, and as tools to support cognitive and behavioural change interventions. Summary: Science fiction has inspired us to conceive of a future with autonomous robots helping with every aspect of our daily lives, although the robots we are familiar with through film and literature remain a vision of the distant future. While there are still miles to go before robots become a regular feature within our social spaces, rapid progress in social robotics research, aided by the social sciences, is helping to move us closer to this reality.

Can the principle of the ‘right to be forgotten’ be applied to academic publishing? Probe from the perspective of personal rights, archival science, open science and post‐publication peer review

In this paper, we reflect on how the principle of the ‘right to be forgotten’ (RTBF), specifically the right to erasure as enshrined in Article 17 (and to some extent Art. 19 and Art. 21) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR; Regulation (EU) 2016/679), or the right to delete undesirable, unflattering or reputation‐damaging archived records of oneself from search engines or databases, might apply to academic publishing. In particular, we focus on archival (library and information) science, post‐publication peer review, and reflect on whether RTBF is compatible with open science principles. Even though RTBF became enshrined in EU law in 2018, its trans‐Atlantic export to the United States faces resistance because it is seen as being incompatible with First Amendment rights. We ponder the pertinence of the debate regarding local versus global applicability of RTBF when considering the transnational nature of some collaborative research. Although RTBF applies broadly to search engines such as Google, we question whether authors have this right and also whether publishers are subjected to this law with respect to science databases, or even ‘local’ (i.e., publisher‐controlled) archives, especially in the light of retractions or withdrawals, in which data and files are removed from a preprint or journal's website or, in extreme cases, where all or most bibliometric information is scrubbed clean, as in the case of ‘silent retractions’. We extend our reflections further to appreciate whether authors or editors are entitled to RTBF in extreme instances of misconduct or fraud. The fundamental right to privacy and personal choice, as is suggested by (or enshrined in) RTBF, is not—in our view—compatible with several principles related to the integrity of data and information, or even their preservation, and may be diametrically opposed, depending on the situation. We encourage wider debate on this budding pertinent issue as a fundamental aspect of academic rights and freedoms.
