Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does Your Opinion Count for AI?
Q: Is it possible to build a hybrid system that is completely free of bias?
No, all of us have biases, but the goal is to confront them and ensure diverse voices are represented.
Does Your Opinion Count for AI?
Q: How can we ensure that AI represents diverse opinions?
By actively involving citizens in the process and getting their feedback on summaries of their opinions.
How Smart Should Educational Robots Become?
Q: Will every child have their own robot in the future?
I advocate against a model where children solely depend on individual robots, as this raises ethical concerns about unsupervised interactions.
How Smart Should Educational Robots Become?
Q: How are the ethical considerations being addressed in your research?
We consider ethical topics like privacy, attachment, and deception, and ensure that children understand the robot's fictional nature and do not develop inappropriate attachments.
How Smart Should Educational Robots Become?
Q: Why should we as people want this, or why do we want children to have relationships with robots?
It's not necessarily a question of why should we want this; it's more that children already relate to objects, and we aim to shape this relationship so that it benefits their learning.
