Published 29 August 2018

From Peter Daymond-King, Helensville, New Zealand

The speaker schedule for your New Scientist Live event on 20-23 September includes “Should robots have rights?” (11 August, back page). More pertinent, especially to those displaced by robots, is: should robots pay tax? No rights without responsibilities!
