Mind of the Universe - Robots in Society: Blessing or Curse?

In this course we will discuss questions and dilemmas such as: will artificially intelligent robots take away our jobs? will they have their own free will and - as some prophesy - have the power to take over the world? should we program robots to detect and respond to human emotions, and if so how? under what conditions can we use robots for military purposes? We will also touch upon the design principles that developers should adhere to, and critically reflect on issues such as robot autonomy, consciousness and intelligence. This course will provide you with plenty of learning resources on this important topic including interviews with top experts in this field.
