In this episode, Byron talks about empathy in AIs.
Transcript
How much empathy do we want AI caregivers to exhibit, or an AI therapist, or even a robotic janitor, if we built one of those, or maybe a robotic teacher? Would we want them to smile? Would we want them to laugh? Would we want them to sweat?
Would we want them to seem absolutely human? What effect might that have if we made these creations as human-like as could be, where they were virtually indistinguishable from humans? What effect might that have, for instance, on children who are raised in a world completely surrounded by fake empathy?
