About

Dr. Chuen–Tsai Sun is a leading scholar whose research sits at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and legal ethics. His work probes the profound societal and regulatory challenges posed by increasingly autonomous machines. In his seminal paper, "The legal crisis of next generation robots" (2007, 18 citations), Dr. Sun presciently analyzed the shift from simple action-based intelligence to full autonomous intelligence in robots. He argued that as machines gain the capacity to adapt to complex environments and interact intimately with humans, our existing legal frameworks become dangerously obsolete. This contribution is widely recognized as a foundational text in the emerging field of robot law, framing the core dilemmas of liability, rights, and safety that now dominate AI policy debates. Dr. Sun’s foresight has made him a vital voice in discussions on how society must prepare for a future where autonomous agents are woven into the fabric of daily life. His work remains essential reading for anyone exploring the ethical and legal dimensions of next-generation robotics.
