Joe DosSantos is joined by Kate Darling in the latest episode of Data Brilliant. Kate Darling is an expert in robot ethics and research specialist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab. She specialises in researching human and robot interactions so we can anticipate the difficult questions that we could face in the future, from technology law and policy to AI ethics.   Kate shares with Joe how the vast power of data is making machines smarter, but how machine intelligence differs to human intelligence. They discuss what a robot really is, outside of the stereotypical silver object we all think of. She shares examples of how human connection with robots can be compared with our relationships with animals and how our Terminator understanding of robots is far from the reality. Hosted on Acast.
