Arthur Miller Lecture on Science and Ethics
The annual Arthur Miller Lecture on Science and Ethics is a panel on chatbots in children's toys: whether children, as "first-time learners," can defend themselves against "pretend empathy," or whether embodied AI is "a blank canvas" for good. Sherry Turkle, founding director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self, joins Mimi Ito of UC Irvine's Connected Learning Lab and Mike Rizkalla, founder of Snorble.
