Hello! I was incredibly intrigued by yo...Kristine,<br /><br />Hello! I was incredibly intrigued by your analysis of robots and their capacity to express emotion. I think movies have a profound effect of shaping our view on machines, and often times they can be portrayed as malevolent creations (i.e. exMachina, Metropolis, Blade Runner). With this, there's this misconceived notion that robotics are advanced to greater levels than what is actually true. At the end of the day, the main separating factor between humans and robots is in our ability to reason. Using IBM's Watson and Microsoft's failed chatbot "Tay" as primal examples, there still remains a significant gap between robot and man. In this way, the public perception of robotics, greatly influenced by movie production, is at a level higher than reality. I'd love to get your opinions on this, but I really enjoyed the blog as a whole!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529373057675148775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628475814869329009.post-62528436878901476912016-07-05T22:16:39.280-07:002016-07-05T22:16:39.280-07:00Hello Kristin,

Given that films in the united states these days often portray robots as beings with malicious intent, it's nice to know that robots were depicted as emotional beings over 15 years ago. Also, I find your commentary on the misuse of industrial technology quite interesting. I never really stopped to think about the fact that these advances in technology, while beneficial to our society's growth, were helping people with malicious intent. I am interested in knowing what you believe the "right" use of robotics would be and what you believe would be ethical in the field of robotics whether it be in the implementation of art or day to day life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514718623091575208noreply@blogger.com
