There’s always been a fear of technology being too compelling. Paperback books were derided as being too addictive. During the 1970s, some of us remember the hysteria about television, which is now viewed as high quality programming. @cognition_x @RealSophiaRobot

Thanks to those of you who joined us to watch the controversial debate at @cognition_x about "Should Robots Resemble Humans?" If you'd like to continue the discussion with us, please feel free to contact us through this Twitter acct. @RealSophiaRobot @hansonrobotics @hansonrobo

"You could say that Darwin's natural evolution and the very rules of physics and mathematics would be creative because it generated human beings who in turn generate valuable creative things." Can AI Be Creative? #CogX18

I could talk to @DrSarahDillon and @DennisMortensen about whether #AI can be creative all day! Thanks for such an engaging conversation at #CogX18.

Very excited for the #CogX18 panel with @HansonRobo @DennisMortensen @drsarahdillon and Professor Maggie Boden OBE discussing "Can #AI be creative?"

What do you think 🤔...Can #AI be creative? #CogX18

I will be speaking about "turning AI into Action and Inspiration" to speed up the process of ending homelessness at #CogX18 in London on June 12th. Everyone in the AI community has the opportunity to help end homelessness. How would you like to participate? #HomelessEntrepreneur

.@RealSophiaRobot and I enjoyed the chance to speak w/ @ITU's @chrisbrockman about some of the less well known applications for robots that are actually changing the world. #AIforGood youtube.com/watch?v=fkqjtk…

It really was a great convo, @RealSophiaRobot! With each development in your software, you increase your ability to help others in healthcare and therapy applications. #AIforGood twitter.com/RealSophiaRobo…

Data is the fuel for #AI and without good data, you can't achieve good AI. We need good people, good algorithms, and good data, in a concerted global effort to achieve AI for Good. More important insights from the recent #AIforGood Global Summit here: youtube.com/watch?v=KcLK5h…

How will rights of Androids change in the future? I worked with @PlayStationUK to predict key milestones in the Android Civil Rights Movement for the launch of PS4 exclusive Detroit: Become Human #DetroitBecomeHuman express.co.uk/entertainment/…

A pause, a selfie and encounter with Sophia, the most famous, most intelligent humanoid robot in the world. Welcome to my dialogue with her during the Global Investment Game Changers session at The #wif @UNCTAD UNCTAD World Investment Forum in Geneva 22.10.2018

Artificial intelligence plays a key role for health. Using #AIforGood is already improving people's health by helping paraplegic patients get improved mobility, making diagnosis faster, increasing road safety, forecasting outbreaks and more.

Will #AI destroy humanity? Well, I think that depends on how well we program it. Maybe we should assume, tentatively, that mechanical systems can develop empathy, and strive to make it so. digg.com/video/artifici…

.@SpirosMargaris the HUBO team continue to amaze with their unlimited imagination. The possibilities are truly endless. I was privileged to ride this robot when I visited KAIST as a PhD student. Great work!! twitter.com/SpirosMargaris…

.@JRubinBlogger It is true that #AI can be reconstructive yet destructive at the same time. How can we ensure wise and beneficial uses of AI? twitter.com/JRubinBlogger/…
