In this episode of AI For Pharma Growth, Dr Andree Bates discusses   some of the issues we have with robotics and consciousness.    Robotics relies heavily on artificial intelligence. Robots use natural language processing, image and object recognition, computational creativity, and deep learning to mimic consciousnesses but they are all AI programming.    Conscious AI and robots will be highly specialised, intelligent and very good at one thing. We are moving into an era where roles will change but robots are not going to replace humans completely, they're going to help humans.
