Discussion with Michał Wroczyński: Living with robots: artificial intelligence, real dilemmas after the screening of “Hi, A.I.” by Isa Willinger
In Polish only
Partner: Samurai Labs
Why is it that when a robot is staring at us, we tend to avert our gaze despite knowing it’s just a machine? The authors of "Hi, A.I". throw us headfirst into this odd sensation in the first minutes of the movie. Why do we find it hard to bear? Is it because appearances are as important in the case of robots as with people? What are they becoming for us – are they merely domestic helpers and tireless performers of unpleasant and monotonous tasks? If yes, then should they start paying taxes to support those who can no longer make a living cleaning offices or tightening bolts in a factory? And what if robots eventually become our partners to go for a walk, grab a brew, or sleep with?
