About

N. V. Platonova is a pioneering legal scholar whose work explores the intersection of law, ethics, and emerging technologies, with a particular focus on the rights and regulation of autonomous robotic systems. Her most notable contribution is the monograph *"The Robots Assert Their Rights"* (2020), which synthesizes findings from the First Far Eastern International Forum she organized—a landmark event that brought together experts to debate the doctrinal, legal, and moral-ethical frameworks for governing autonomous robotic technologies. This work, cited in key policy and academic discussions, addresses the urgent need for legal personhood and accountability in an era of digital transformation. Platonova’s research is instrumental in shaping how societies conceptualize the legal status of AI and robots, bridging gaps between technical innovation and human-centered governance. Her efforts have positioned her as a leading voice in the nascent field of robo-law, influencing both scholarly discourse and practical regulatory approaches. With her forum and monograph, she has laid foundational groundwork for future debates on digital rights and the ethical deployment of autonomous systems.
