ROBOTS: Scientists study long term human relationships with A.I.


Here's an interesting study on the long term effects of human interaction with a new generation of interactive, emotionally intelligent, companion robots.

"Professor Peter McOwan, from Queen Mary’s Department of Computer Science, explained: 'We’re interested in how people can develop a long-term relationship with artificial creatures, in everyday settings. You may not be able to find a robot that can help you do the dishes anytime soon, but we’re hoping to explore how such friendly future technology could be developed, and start to predict what the intelligent machines of tomorrow might look like, and how we should treat them.'"
