Jonathan Hurst, a robotics professor, discusses the importance of robots being able to sense and perceive humans in their environment, explaining how this helps robots navigate and build relationships with humans.
The quick pace of technological advancements regarding AI and their ability to replace human jobs and industries is concerning, especially given society's poor track record of addressing and mitigating major problems. Additionally, there is a humorous mention of the desire to replace friends and family with robots.
The idea that the US is the savior of the world is being challenged, while uncomfortable conversations about the future of our nation are not being addressed.
The relationship between humans and robots is not about enslavement, but rather a symbiotic relationship based on love and care.
The growth of relationships is achieved through struggling, succeeding, and spending peaceful time together. These same elements of a relationship can also apply to human-robot relationships, provided the robot has autonomy and isn't simply treated like a servant.
