Q: How will we know that a robot feels empathy when we can program it to answer to any way we want? Minoru-san responds by asking how do you know that a human has empathy. MC says you’ll know because the empathy light will come on. #SydneyIdeas
Q: Both speakers seem to link the issues discussed with an embodiment. What about distributed AI systems? Minoru-san say he doesn’t believe in this kind of AI. You need a physicality to understand pain and have empathy etc. Well-worded answer, will try to write up. #SydneyIdeas
Jones says that when the computer apologies for an error, she doesn’t actually expect the computer to feel sorry for her, it’s just a way of speaking. #SydneyIdeas
I missed a bunch of stuff there for reasons, but Minoru-san says that the robot will have to learn morality from their own experiences(!). Jones asks, then, whose morality? Imagine the morality learned by a kid whose parents are neo-Nazis. (Compare with the bot Tay.) #SydneyIdeas
MC: Well, we’re out of time, and we don’t seem to have come up with an answer. Heh. #SydneyIdeas
End of tweets. Thank you, @Sydney_Ideas for another fascinating discussion. #SydneyIdeas
