Signaling Sustainable Robotics – a Concept to Implement the Idea of Robotic Governance

Labeling is today a common way to signal certain characteristics of consumer products, especially in the fields of organic and environmental production. Nevertheless, the basic concept ab labeling as a way to inform the customer or user and the use of certification to establish a regulating market-mechanism are not limited to these cases. In this paper, we propose the adaption of labeling as a method to foster "Robotic & AI Governance", a concept of self-regulation for robotics, automation and artificial intelligence (7)(10)(25)(26)(27).
