Lecture Description
Society seems to accept that robots will, soon enough, permeate daily life at least as physical helpmates, vacuuming the floor or prepping a meal. But robots also are gaining the ability to influence our attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. Soon enough, a next gen C-3P0 may be able to sell us a car or a cruise. As robots are taught the rules of social interaction, their persuasive powers will grow. Might robots then be used for positive change, perhaps persuading people to quit smoking, eat healthy or be more conscious of energy conservation?
