0243 GMT - Robotics safety standards will need updating as AI-powered robotics enter the scene, according to Brendan Schulman at Boston Dynamics. "Robotics has been around for decades and for the most part, concerns about them have been about the physical safety of workers," says the vice president of policy & government relations. The current structure is relatively "permissive" as it mostly relies on industry safety standards, he says. Companies that make robots for home may face more safety questions, as well as ethical questions, he says. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
