There is a day.

16 |

About ten years ago when I asked a

17 |

friend to hold a baby dinosaur
robot upside down.

18 |

It was a toy called plea.

19 |

All It's a super courts are

20 |

showing off to my friend and I
said to hold it, but he'll see

21 |

what debts.

22 |

We were watching the theatrics of

23 |

this robe that struggle and cry
out and and after a few The first.

24 |

After my little and I said o.k.

25 |

That's enough.

26 |

Now, let's put him back down and
pepper, about to make it.

27 |

Stop crying and I was kind of a
weird experience for me one thing,

28 |

wasn't the most maternal person at
the time.

29 |

Although, since then I've become a
mother and nine months ago.

30 |

And that is a score when hold them
up to now, but my response to this

31 |

robot was also interesting because
I knew exactly how this machine

32 |

work it.

33 |

And yet.

34 |

I still felt compelled to be kind
to it.

35 |

And that observation sparked that
curiosity that I spent the decade

36 |

pursuing it.

37 |

Why did they comfort this robe.

38 |

One of the things I discovered was
my treatment of this machine was

39 |

more than just an awkward moment
in my living room that in a world

40 |

were increasingly integrating
robots into our lives and things

41 |

like that might actually have
consequences because the first

42 |

thing that I discovered is that.

43 |

It's not just me in two thousand

44 |

seven.

45 |

The Washington Post reported that

46 |

the United States military was
testing this robot diffused

47 |

landmines.

48 |

We workers were shaped like a

49 |

stick insect would walk around a
minefield on its legs and every

50 |

time he stepped on a mine.

51 |

One of the legs would blow up

52 |

would continue on the other legs
to block your minds in the colonel

53 |

was in charge of this testing
exercise for calling it off

54 |

because he says it's too inhumane
to watch this damage robot drag

55 |

itself along What would cause a
hardened military officer and

56 |

someone like myself to have this
response to row.

57 |

But what.

58 |

Of course for prime for science

59 |

fiction, pop culture really want
to personify these things, but it

60 |

goes a little bit deeper than that
it turns out that we are

61 |

biologically hard wired to project
intent and life onto any movement

62 |

in a physical space.

63 |

It seems I promised us people

64 |

treat all sort of robots like
their life.

65 |

These bomb disposal units get
names.

66 |

They get medals of honour had
funeral for them with gun salutes.

67 |

Research shows that we do this.

68 |

Even with very simple household

69 |

robots like the room.

70 |

A vacuum cleaner.

71 |

Just a desk that runs around the
floor and clean it just the fact

72 |

that it's moving around on his own
will cause people to name the

73 |

marimba and feel bad for the room.

74 |

But when he gets stuck under the

75 |

couch.

76 |

We can design about specifically

77 |

to invoke this response using eyes
and faces were movement.

78 |

People are magically
subconsciously associate with

79 |

state of mind.

80 |

There's an entire body of research

81 |

called Human robot interaction
that really shows how all this

82 |

works so.

83 |

For example.

84 |

Researchers at Stamford University
found out that makes people really

85 |

uncomfortable and asked them to
touch her about his private parts

86 |

from this from any other studies.

87 |

We know.

88 |

We know that people respond to the
cues given to them by the lifelike

89 |

machines.

90 |

Even if they know that they're not

91 |

real.

92 |

We're heading towards a world

93 |

where robots are everywhere about
the technology is moving out from

94 |

behind factory was entering
workplaces households and as these

95 |

machines.

96 |

They can sense and make a ton of

97 |

my decisions and learn enter into
the shared spaces.

98 |

I think that maybe the best
analogy.

99 |

We have for this is our
relationship with animals.

100 |

Thousands of years ago, we started
to domesticate animals and we

101 |

train them for work and weaponry
and companionship.

102 |

Throughout history.

103 |

We've treated.

104 |

Some animals like tools are the
products and other animals.

105 |

We treated with kindness and given
a place in society as our

106 |

companions.

107 |

I think it's possible.

108 |

We might start to integrate
Robartes, but similar weights

109 |

animals are alive.

110 |

Robert and that.

111 |

And I can tell you from working.

112 |

What about the sister were pretty

113 |

far away from developing robots.

114 |

They can feel anything there, but

115 |

we feel for And that matters
because if we're trying to

116 |

integrate robots into the shared
spaces need to understand that

117 |

people treat them differently than
other devices that in some cases.

118 |

For example, the case of a soldier
who becomes emotionally attached

119 |

to the robot.

120 |

They work.

121 |

Well, if that can be anything from
inefficient to dangerous.

122 |

But in other cases.

123 |

It can actually be used for the

124 |

faster this emotional connection
to, but we're really seeing some

125 |

great use cases.

126 |

For example, robots working with

127 |

autistic children to engage them
in ways that we haven't seen

128 |

previously robot's working with
teachers to engage kids and

129 |

learning with new and it's not
just for kids early studies show

130 |

that we can help doctors and
patients and health care settings

131 |

and this is the pirate b. b. c.

132 |

But it's used in nursing homes

133 |

with dementia patients has been
around for a while I remember

134 |

years ago.

135 |

Being a party and telling someone

136 |

about this throwback and her
response was I can't believe we're

137 |

giving people robots instead of
human care.

138 |

is a really common response and I
think it's absolutely correct

139 |

because that would be terrible.

140 |

And in this case.

141 |

It's not with this robot replace
it with this robot replaces his

142 |

animal therapy in context which he
was real animals.

143 |

We can use robots because people
consistently treat them like more.

144 |

More like an animal and have it
acknowledging this emotional

145 |

connection.

146 |

Robert, can also help us

147 |

anticipate challenges as these
devices.

148 |

Move into more intimate areas of
people's lives and for example is

149 |

it.

150 |

o.k.

151 |

If your child's teddy bear robot
records private conversations.

152 |

Is it.

153 |

o.k.

154 |

If your sex robot has compelling
in our purchasers because rope.

155 |

That's plus capitalism equals
questions around consumer

156 |

protection and privacy and those
aren't the only reason, said her

157 |

behaviour around these machines
could, madam.

158 |

A few years after that first
initial experience.

159 |

I had with this baby dinosaur
robot do workshop with her friend

160 |

Hannah Scott.

161 |

Scott, then we took five of these

162 |

baby dinosaur about we give them.

163 |

The five teams of people.

164 |

We had the name them and play with
them and them for about an hour.

165 |

Then we unveiled a him or a
hatchet and we told them to

166 |

torture and kill the row and then
this turned out to be a little

167 |

more dramatic than we expected it
to be because none of the

168 |

participants wouldn't even so much
as straight.

169 |

A robot.

170 |

So we had to improvise.

171 |

End at some point.

172 |

He said o.k.

173 |

You can save your team's robot.

174 |

If you destroy another team throw.

175 |

I And anyone that didn't work.

176 |

They couldn't do it.

177 |

So finally said, We're gonna
destroy all the robots are someone

178 |

takes a hatchet to one of them.

179 |

This guy stood up and he took the

180 |

hatchet and the whole room,
Winston.

181 |

See brother had to down on the
robot's neck and there was this

182 |

half joking.

183 |

Is there reason to.

184 |

For example, prevent the child
from kicking about Doc That just

185 |

out of respect for property
because the child may be more

186 |

likely to take a real dark and
again.

187 |

It's not just kids and this is the
violent video games question, but

188 |

it's a completely new level
because of this visceral

189 |

physicality that we respond more
intensely.

190 |

Two images on a screen, we behave
violently towards Robarts

191 |

specifically robots that are
designed to mimic life is is that

192 |

training cruelty muscles.

193 |

The answer to this question has

194 |

the potential impact human
behaviour has the potential impact

195 |

social norms.

196 |

It has the potential to inspire

197 |

rules around.

198 |

What we can and can't do certain

199 |

Robarts animal cruelty, because
even if robots can't fuel our

200 |

behaviour towards a matter for us
and regardless of whether we end

201 |

up changing ovals robots might be
able to help us come to a new

202 |

understanding of ourselves.

203 |

Most of what learned over the past

204 |

ten years have not been about
technology.

205 |

A It's been about human psychology
and empathy and how we relate to

206 |

others.

207 |

And because when a child is kind

208 |

to her room.

209 |

But when a soldier tries to save a

210 |

robot on the battlefield.

211 |

When a group of people refuses to

212 |

harm her about a baby dinosaur.

213 |

216 | 217 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /example-output/test-presegment.txt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | There is a day. 2 | 3 | About ten years ago when I asked a 4 | 5 | friend to hold a baby dinosaur 6 | robot upside down. 7 | 8 | It was a toy called plea. 9 | 10 | All It's a super courts are 11 | 12 | showing off to my friend and I 13 | said to hold it, but he'll see 14 | 15 | what debts. 16 | 17 | We were watching the theatrics of 18 | 19 | this robe that struggle and cry 20 | out and and after a few The first. 21 | 22 | After my little and I said o.k. 23 | 24 | That's enough. 25 | 26 | Now, let's put him back down and 27 | pepper, about to make it. 28 | 29 | Stop crying and I was kind of a 30 | weird experience for me one thing, 31 | 32 | wasn't the most maternal person at 33 | the time. 34 | 35 | Although, since then I've become a 36 | mother and nine months ago. 37 | 38 | And that is a score when hold them 39 | up to now, but my response to this 40 | 41 | robot was also interesting because 42 | I knew exactly how this machine 43 | 44 | work it. 45 | 46 | And yet. 47 | 48 | I still felt compelled to be kind 49 | to it. 50 | 51 | And that observation sparked that 52 | curiosity that I spent the decade 53 | 54 | pursuing it. 55 | 56 | Why did they comfort this robe. 57 | 58 | One of the things I discovered was 59 | my treatment of this machine was 60 | 61 | more than just an awkward moment 62 | in my living room that in a world 63 | 64 | were increasingly integrating 65 | robots into our lives and things 66 | 67 | like that might actually have 68 | consequences because the first 69 | 70 | thing that I discovered is that. 71 | 72 | It's not just me in two thousand 73 | 74 | seven. 75 | 76 | The Washington Post reported that 77 | 78 | the United States military was 79 | testing this robot diffused 80 | 81 | landmines. 82 | 83 | We workers were shaped like a 84 | 85 | stick insect would walk around a 86 | minefield on its legs and every 87 | 88 | time he stepped on a mine. 89 | 90 | One of the legs would blow up 91 | 92 | would continue on the other legs 93 | to block your minds in the colonel 94 | 95 | was in charge of this testing 96 | exercise for calling it off 97 | 98 | because he says it's too inhumane 99 | to watch this damage robot drag 100 | 101 | itself along What would cause a 102 | hardened military officer and 103 | 104 | someone like myself to have this 105 | response to row. 106 | 107 | But what. 108 | 109 | Of course for prime for science 110 | 111 | fiction, pop culture really want 112 | to personify these things, but it 113 | 114 | goes a little bit deeper than that 115 | it turns out that we are 116 | 117 | biologically hard wired to project 118 | intent and life onto any movement 119 | 120 | in a physical space. 121 | 122 | It seems I promised us people 123 | 124 | treat all sort of robots like 125 | their life. 126 | 127 | These bomb disposal units get 128 | names. 129 | 130 | They get medals of honour had 131 | funeral for them with gun salutes. 132 | 133 | Research shows that we do this. 134 | 135 | Even with very simple household 136 | 137 | robots like the room. 138 | 139 | A vacuum cleaner. 140 | 141 | Just a desk that runs around the 142 | floor and clean it just the fact 143 | 144 | that it's moving around on his own 145 | will cause people to name the 146 | 147 | marimba and feel bad for the room. 148 | 149 | But when he gets stuck under the 150 | 151 | couch. 152 | 153 | We can design about specifically 154 | 155 | to invoke this response using eyes 156 | and faces were movement. 157 | 158 | People are magically 159 | subconsciously associate with 160 | 161 | state of mind. 162 | 163 | There's an entire body of research 164 | 165 | called Human robot interaction 166 | that really shows how all this 167 | 168 | works so. 169 | 170 | For example. 171 | 172 | Researchers at Stamford University 173 | found out that makes people really 174 | 175 | uncomfortable and asked them to 176 | touch her about his private parts 177 | 178 | from this from any other studies. 179 | 180 | We know. 181 | 182 | We know that people respond to the 183 | cues given to them by the lifelike 184 | 185 | machines. 186 | 187 | Even if they know that they're not 188 | 189 | real. 190 | 191 | We're heading towards a world 192 | 193 | where robots are everywhere about 194 | the technology is moving out from 195 | 196 | behind factory was entering 197 | workplaces households and as these 198 | 199 | machines. 200 | 201 | They can sense and make a ton of 202 | 203 | my decisions and learn enter into 204 | the shared spaces. 205 | 206 | I think that maybe the best 207 | analogy. 208 | 209 | We have for this is our 210 | relationship with animals. 211 | 212 | Thousands of years ago, we started 213 | to domesticate animals and we 214 | 215 | train them for work and weaponry 216 | and companionship. 217 | 218 | Throughout history. 219 | 220 | We've treated. 221 | 222 | Some animals like tools are the 223 | products and other animals. 224 | 225 | We treated with kindness and given 226 | a place in society as our 227 | 228 | companions. 229 | 230 | I think it's possible. 231 | 232 | We might start to integrate 233 | Robartes, but similar weights 234 | 235 | animals are alive. 236 | 237 | Robert and that. 238 | 239 | And I can tell you from working. 240 | 241 | What about the sister were pretty 242 | 243 | far away from developing robots. 244 | 245 | They can feel anything there, but 246 | 247 | we feel for And that matters 248 | because if we're trying to 249 | 250 | integrate robots into the shared 251 | spaces need to understand that 252 | 253 | people treat them differently than 254 | other devices that in some cases. 255 | 256 | For example, the case of a soldier 257 | who becomes emotionally attached 258 | 259 | to the robot. 260 | 261 | They work. 262 | 263 | Well, if that can be anything from 264 | inefficient to dangerous. 265 | 266 | But in other cases. 267 | 268 | It can actually be used for the 269 | 270 | faster this emotional connection 271 | to, but we're really seeing some 272 | 273 | great use cases. 274 | 275 | For example, robots working with 276 | 277 | autistic children to engage them 278 | in ways that we haven't seen 279 | 280 | previously robot's working with 281 | teachers to engage kids and 282 | 283 | learning with new and it's not 284 | just for kids early studies show 285 | 286 | that we can help doctors and 287 | patients and health care settings 288 | 289 | and this is the pirate b. b. c. 290 | 291 | But it's used in nursing homes 292 | 293 | with dementia patients has been 294 | around for a while I remember 295 | 296 | years ago. 297 | 298 | Being a party and telling someone 299 | 300 | about this throwback and her 301 | response was I can't believe we're 302 | 303 | giving people robots instead of 304 | human care. 305 | 306 | is a really common response and I 307 | think it's absolutely correct 308 | 309 | because that would be terrible. 310 | 311 | And in this case. 312 | 313 | It's not with this robot replace 314 | it with this robot replaces his 315 | 316 | animal therapy in context which he 317 | was real animals. 318 | 319 | We can use robots because people 320 | consistently treat them like more. 321 | 322 | More like an animal and have it 323 | acknowledging this emotional 324 | 325 | connection. 326 | 327 | Robert, can also help us 328 | 329 | anticipate challenges as these 330 | devices. 331 | 332 | Move into more intimate areas of 333 | people's lives and for example is 334 | 335 | it. 336 | 337 | o.k. 338 | 339 | If your child's teddy bear robot 340 | records private conversations. 341 | 342 | Is it. 343 | 344 | o.k. 345 | 346 | If your sex robot has compelling 347 | in our purchasers because rope. 348 | 349 | That's plus capitalism equals 350 | questions around consumer 351 | 352 | protection and privacy and those 353 | aren't the only reason, said her 354 | 355 | behaviour around these machines 356 | could, madam. 357 | 358 | A few years after that first 359 | initial experience. 360 | 361 | I had with this baby dinosaur 362 | robot do workshop with her friend 363 | 364 | Hannah Scott. 365 | 366 | Scott, then we took five of these 367 | 368 | baby dinosaur about we give them. 369 | 370 | The five teams of people. 371 | 372 | We had the name them and play with 373 | them and them for about an hour. 374 | 375 | Then we unveiled a him or a 376 | hatchet and we told them to 377 | 378 | torture and kill the row and then 379 | this turned out to be a little 380 | 381 | more dramatic than we expected it 382 | to be because none of the 383 | 384 | participants wouldn't even so much 385 | as straight. 386 | 387 | A robot. 388 | 389 | So we had to improvise. 390 | 391 | End at some point. 392 | 393 | He said o.k. 394 | 395 | You can save your team's robot. 396 | 397 | If you destroy another team throw. 398 | 399 | I And anyone that didn't work. 400 | 401 | They couldn't do it. 402 | 403 | So finally said, We're gonna 404 | destroy all the robots are someone 405 | 406 | takes a hatchet to one of them. 407 | 408 | This guy stood up and he took the 409 | 410 | hatchet and the whole room, 411 | Winston. 412 | 413 | See brother had to down on the 414 | robot's neck and there was this 415 | 416 | half joking. 417 | 418 | Is there reason to. 419 | 420 | For example, prevent the child 421 | from kicking about Doc That just 422 | 423 | out of respect for property 424 | because the child may be more 425 | 426 | likely to take a real dark and 427 | again. 428 | 429 | It's not just kids and this is the 430 | violent video games question, but 431 | 432 | it's a completely new level 433 | because of this visceral 434 | 435 | physicality that we respond more 436 | intensely. 437 | 438 | Two images on a screen, we behave 439 | violently towards Robarts 440 | 441 | specifically robots that are 442 | designed to mimic life is is that 443 | 444 | training cruelty muscles. 445 | 446 | The answer to this question has 447 | 448 | the potential impact human 449 | behaviour has the potential impact 450 | 451 | social norms. 452 | 453 | It has the potential to inspire 454 | 455 | rules around. 456 | 457 | What we can and can't do certain 458 | 459 | Robarts animal cruelty, because 460 | even if robots can't fuel our 461 | 462 | behaviour towards a matter for us 463 | and regardless of whether we end 464 | 465 | up changing ovals robots might be 466 | able to help us come to a new 467 | 468 | understanding of ourselves. 469 | 470 | Most of what learned over the past 471 | 472 | ten years have not been about 473 | technology. 474 | 475 | A It's been about human psychology 476 | and empathy and how we relate to 477 | 478 | others. 479 | 480 | And because when a child is kind 481 | 482 | to her room. 483 | 484 | But when a soldier tries to save a 485 | 486 | robot on the battlefield. 487 | 488 | When a group of people refuses to 489 | 490 | harm her about a baby dinosaur. 491 | 492 | Those robots aren't just motors in 493 | 494 | years and a groom's. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a day. 2 | 3 | About ten years ago when I asked a 4 | 5 | friend to hold a baby dinosaur 6 | robot upside down. 7 | 8 | It was a toy called plea. 9 | 10 | All It's a super courts are 11 | 12

a few The first. 21 | 22 | After my little and I said o.k. 23 | 24 | That's enough. 25 | 26 | Now, let's put him back down and 27 | pepper, about to make it. 28 | 29 | Stop crying and I was kind of a 30 | weird experience for me one thing, 31 | 32 | wasn't the most maternal person at 33 | the time. 34 | 35 | Although, since then I've become a 36 | mother and nine months ago. 37 | 38 | And that is a score when hold them 39 | up to now, but my response to this 40 | 41 | robot was also interesting because 42 | I knew exactly how this machine 43 | 44 | work it. 45 | 46 | And yet. 47 | 48 | I still felt compelled to be kind 49 | to it. 50 | 51 | And that observation sparked that 52 | curiosity that I spent the decade 53 | 54 | pursuing it. 55 | 56 | Why did they comfort this robe. 57 | 58 | One of the things I discovered was 59 | my treatment of this machine was 60 | 61 | more than just an awkward moment 62 | in my living room that in a world 63 | 64 | were increasingly integrating 65 | robots into our lives and things 66 | 67 | like that might actually have 68 | consequences because the first 69 | 70 | thing that I discovered is that. 71 | 72 | It's not just me in two thousand 73 | 74 | seven. 75 | 76 | The Washington Post reported that 77 | 78 | the United States military was 79 | testing this robot diffused 80 | 81 | landmines. 82 | 83 | We workers were shaped like a 84 | 85 | stick insect would walk around a 86 | minefield on its legs and every 87 | 88 | time he stepped on a mine. 89 | 90 | One of the legs would blow up 91 | 92 | would continue on the other legs 93 | to block your minds in the colonel 94 | 95 | was in charge of this testing 96 | exercise for calling it off 97 | 98 | because he says it's too inhumane 99 | to watch this damage robot drag 100 | 101 | itself along What would cause a 102 | hardened military officer and 103 | 104 | someone like myself to have this 105 | response to row. 106 | 107 | But what. 108 | 109 | Of course for prime for science 110 | 111 | fiction, pop culture really want 112 | to personify these things, but it 113 | 114 | goes a little bit deeper than that 115 | it turns out that we are 116 | 117 | biologically hard wired to project 118 | intent and life onto any movement 119 | 120 | in a physical space. 121 | 122 | It seems I promised us people 123 | 124 | treat all sort of robots like 125 | their life. 126 | 127 | These bomb disposal units get 128 | names. 129 | 130 | They get medals of honour had 131 | funeral for them with gun salutes. 132 | 133 | Research shows that we do this. 134 | 135 | Even with very simple household 136 | 137 | robots like the room. 138 | 139 | A vacuum cleaner. 140 | 141 | Just a desk that runs around the 142 | floor and clean it just the fact 143 | 144 | that it's moving around on his own 145 | will cause people to name the 146 | 147 | marimba and feel bad for the room. 148 | 149 | But when he gets stuck under the 150 | 151 | couch. 152 | 153 | We can design about specifically 154 | 155 | to invoke this response using eyes 156 | and faces were movement. 157 | 158 | People are magically 159 | subconsciously associate with 160 | 161 | state of mind. 162 | 163 | There's an entire body of research 164 | 165 | called Human robot interaction 166 | that really shows how all this 167 | 168 | works so. 169 | 170 | For example. 171 | 172 | Researchers at Stamford University 173 | found out that makes people really 174 | 175 | uncomfortable and asked them to 176 | touch her about his private parts 177 | 178 | from this from any other studies. 179 | 180 | We know. 181 | 182 | We know that people respond to the 183 | cues given to them by the lifelike 184 | 185 | machines. 186 | 187 | Even if they know that they're not 188 | 189 | real. 190 | 191 | We're heading towards a world 192 | 193 | where robots are everywhere about 194 | the technology is moving out from 195 | 196 | behind factory was entering 197 | workplaces households and as these 198 | 199 | machines. 200 | 201 | They can sense and make a ton of 202 | 203 | my decisions and learn enter into 204 | the shared spaces. 205 | 206 | I think that maybe the best 207 | analogy. 208 | 209 | We have for this is our 210 | relationship with animals. 211 | 212 | Thousands of years ago, we started 213 | to domesticate animals and we 214 | 215 | train them for work and weaponry 216 | and companionship. 217 | 218 | Throughout history. 219 | 220 | We've treated. 221 | 222 | Some animals like tools are the 223 | products and other animals. 224 | 225 | We treated with kindness and given 226 | a place in society as our 227 | 228 | companions. 229 | 230 | I think it's possible. 231 | 232 | We might start to integrate 233 | Robartes, but similar weights 234 | 235 | animals are alive. 236 | 237 | Robert and that. 238 | 239 | And I can tell you from working. 240 | 241 | What about the sister were pretty 242 | 243 | far away from developing robots. 244 | 245 | They can feel anything there, but 246 | 247 | we feel for And that matters 248 | because if we're trying to 249 | 250 | integrate robots into the shared 251 | spaces need to understand that 252 | 253 | people treat them differently than 254 | other devices that in some cases. 255 | 256 | For example, the case of a soldier 257 | who becomes emotionally attached 258 | 259 | to the robot. 260 | 261 | They work. 262 | 263 | Well, if that can be anything from 264 | inefficient to dangerous. 265 | 266 | But in other cases. 267 | 268 | It can actually be used for the 269 | 270 | faster this emotional connection 271 | to, but we're really seeing some 272 | 273 | great use cases. 274 | 275 | For example, robots working with 276 | 277 | autistic children to engage them 278 | in ways that we haven't seen 279 | 280 | previously robot's working with 281 | teachers to engage kids and 282 | 283 | learning with new and it's not 284 | just for kids early studies show 285 | 286 | that we can help doctors and 287 | patients and health care settings 288 | 289 | and this is the pirate b. b. c. 290 | 291 | But it's used in nursing homes 292 | 293 | with dementia patients has been 294 | around for a while I remember 295 | 296 | years ago. 297 | 298 | Being a party and telling someone 299 | 300 | about this throwback and her 301 | response was I can't believe we're 302 | 303 | giving people robots instead of 304 | human care. 305 | 306 | is a really common response and I 307 | think it's absolutely correct 308 | 309 | because that would be terrible. 310 | 311 | And in this case. 312 | 313 | It's not with this robot replace 314 | it with this robot replaces his 315 | 316 | animal therapy in context which he 317 | was real animals. 318 | 319 | We can use robots because people 320 | consistently treat them like more. 321 | 322 | More like an animal and have it 323 | acknowledging this emotional 324 | 325 | connection. 326 | 327 | Robert, can also help us 328 | 329 | anticipate challenges as these 330 | devices. 331 | 332 | Move into more intimate areas of 333 | people's lives and for example is 334 | 335 | it. 336 | 337 | o.k. 338 | 339 | If your child's teddy bear robot 340 | records private conversations. 341 | 342 | Is it. 343 | 344 | o.k. 345 | 346 | If your sex robot has compelling 347 | in our purchasers because rope. 348 | 349 | That's plus capitalism equals 350 | questions around consumer 351 | 352 | protection and privacy and those 353 | aren't the only reason, said her 354 | 355 | behaviour around these machines 356 | could, madam. 357 | 358 | A few years after that first 359 | initial experience. 360 | 361 | I had with this baby dinosaur 362 | robot do workshop with her friend 363 | 364 | Hannah Scott. 365 | 366 | Scott, then we took five of these 367 | 368 | baby dinosaur about we give them. 369 | 370 | The five teams of people. 371 | 372 | We had the name them and play with 373 | them and them for about an hour. 374 | 375 | Then we unveiled a him or a 376 | hatchet and we told them to 377 | 378 | torture and kill the row and then 379 | this turned out to be a little 380 | 381 | more dramatic than we expected it 382 | to be because none of the 383 | 384 | participants wouldn't even so much 385 | as straight. 386 | 387 | A robot. 388 | 389 | So we had to improvise. 390 | 391 | End at some point. 392 | 393 | He said o.k. 394 | 395 | You can save your team's robot. 396 | 397 | If you destroy another team throw. 398 | 399 | I And anyone that didn't work. 400 | 401 | They couldn't do it. 402 | 403 | So finally said, We're gonna 404 | destroy all the robots are someone 405 | 406 | takes a hatchet to one of them. 407 | 408 | This guy stood up and he took the 409 | 410 | hatchet and the whole room, 411 | Winston. 412 | 413 | See brother had to down on the 414 | robot's neck and there was this 415 | 416 | half joking. 417 | 418 | Is there reason to. 419 | 420 | For example, prevent the child 421 | from kicking about Doc That just 422 | 423 | out of respect for property 424 | because the child may be more 425 | 426 | likely to take a real dark and 427 | again. 428 | 429 | It's not just kids and this is the 430 | violent video games question, but 431 | 432 | it's a completely new level 433 | because of this visceral 434 | 435 | physicality that we respond more 436 | intensely. 437 | 438 | Two images on a screen, we behave 439 | violently towards Robarts 440 | 441 | specifically robots that are 442 | designed to mimic life is is that 443 | 444 | training cruelty muscles. 445 | 446 | The answer to this question has 447 | 448 | the potential impact human 449 | behaviour has the potential impact 450 | 451 | social norms. 452 | 453 | It has the potential to inspire 454 | 455 | rules around. 456 | 457 | What we can and can't do certain 458 | 459 | Robarts animal cruelty, because 460 | even if robots can't fuel our 461 | 462 | behaviour towards a matter for us 463 | and regardless of whether we end 464 | 465 | up changing ovals robots might be 466 | able to help us come to a new 467 | 468 | understanding of ourselves. 469 | 470 | Most of what learned over the past 471 | 472 | ten years have not been about 473 | technology. 474 | 475 | A It's been about human psychology 476 | and empathy and how we relate to 477 | 478 | others. 479 | 480 | And because when a child is kind 481 | 482 | to her room. 483 | 484 | But when a soldier tries to save a 485 | 486 | robot on the battlefield. 487 | 488 | When a group of people refuses to 489 | 490 | harm her about a baby dinosaur. 491 | 492 | Those robots aren't just motors in 493 | 494 | years and a groom's. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /example-usage.js:
