Dr. Kate Darling's TED Talk: Robots & Our Emotions
About this video
Speaker PageShare Video
We’re far from developing robots that feel emotions, but we already have feelings towards them, says robot ethicist Dr. Kate Darling, and an instinct like that can have consequences. Learn more about how we’re biologically hardwired to project intent and life onto machines—and how it might help us better understand ourselves.
In this video, Dr. Darling, an MIT Media Lab Research Specialist, takes the TED stage to talk about why we love our Roombas robots and how we build these emotional connections with robots.
