Artificial Intelligence

Jim Luisi, author of Sensitive by Nature: Understanding Intelligence and the Mind, joined the show to discuss artificial intelligence and psychology.

Jim talked about the advancement of artificial intelligence mainly in regards to robots. We tackled questions like how smart can artificial intelligence be, can a robot become religious with an AI that is advanced enough, will they be able to express emotions or feel pain and anger?

Is this our future? Will robots become more and more human like and carry the same behaviors?
