    Research assessment

    Inclusion rationale
    The adopted JURI report contains substantive AI and robotics governance proposals on ethics, liability, research, sectoral regulation and a European robotics and AI agency, preceding Parliament's distinct resolution of 16 February 2017.
    Researcher notes
    Publication means official parliamentary tabling for plenary on 27 January 2017, not an established first server-upload timestamp. Committee adoption was 12 January 2017. The report's six embedded committee opinions remain components of this report. The separate resolution's CELEX/OJ identifiers do not identify this report. Document type, sectors, relevance and policy stage are editorial classifications; rapporteur credits remain distinct from institutional authorship.
