Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Believes that robotics and artificial intelligence plays a key role in improving the competitiveness and productivity of the European economy; calls on the Commission to promote a pro- innovation policy in robotics and artificial intelligence, facilitating integration of technologies in value chains, and to assess the need to modernise legislation or develop European guidelines to ensure a joint approach in robotics and artificial intelligence, essential for companies to scale up in Europe;
Amendment 25 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1 a. Believes that the shortening of the time passed from innovation to industrialisation should be encouraged through the wider use of robotics and artificial intelligence, and facilitated by the growth of scalable SMEs especially in the field of 3D printing;
Amendment 35 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2 a. Underlines that unhindered connectivity is a prerequisite to growth and innovation; calls on the Commission to ensure that access to broadband and 5G networks is accompanied by equal treatment of traffic in the spirit of the net neutrality principle;
Amendment 39 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Strongly believes that interoperability between systems, devices and cloud services, based on security and privacy by design, areis essential for enabling real time data flows enabling robots and artificial intelligence to become more flexible and autonomous; asks the Commission to promote an open environment, from open standards and innovative licensing models, to open platforms and transparency, in order to avoid lock-in in proprietary systems that restrain interoperability;
Amendment 48 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4 a. Stresses that in the continental European understanding of authors' rights, intellectual creation is tied to the personality of the author; therefore artificial agents such as robots and artificial intelligence cannot be perceived of as authors and information produced by them shall not be eligible for copyright protection;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 b (new)
Paragraph 4 b (new)
4 b. Points out that the technological development in the field of autonomous machines, for example cars and drones, should be accompanied by solutions to the new ethical challenges;
Amendment 53 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 c (new)
Paragraph 4 c (new)
4 c. Points out that developments in the field of vital medical applications such as robotic prostheses, should not reduce the autonomy and self-determination of persons carrying them; therefore a person carrying such a device is to be considered the full owner of the respective device and all its components, including software source code; considers this necessary to retain the means to support these vital devices; for example if maintenance, repairs or enhancements, including software updates fixing malfunctions and vulnerabilities, are no longer carried out by a supplier; therefore additionally suggests the creation of independent trusted entities that retain the technology necessary to provide persons carrying these devices with such care; including the means to assemble and install software updates on the device; supports creating an obligation for manufacturers to provide these independent trusted entities with comprehensive design instructions as well as source code to this end, similar to the legal deposit of publications to a national library;
