#1 Thomas Telving: Empathy for the Robots
from AI and Technology Ethics Podcast Hosted by Roberto Carlos
Thomas Telving has an MA in Philosophy and Political Science from the University of Southern Denmark. He is the author of several articles on the ethics of artificial intelligence and human-robot interaction. And he is the author of the recent book Killing Sophia: Consciousness, Empathy, and Reason in the Age of Intelligent Robots. Some of the topics we discuss are human empathy, the high likelihood that humans will eventually feel empathy for humanoid robots, Thomas’ thought-experiment regarding how humans would respond if given an order to destroy a highly-realistic humanoid robot, the prospect of granting robots rights, and many other topics. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
