tkadm30 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The discovery of mirror neurons (twenty years ago) in the brain on macaque monkeys is controversial. In particular, the biological mecanism of "shared neural activations" has been proposed as a model to understand the concept of "cognitive empathy". What if human consciousness can sense the mental states of others by expressing empathy? Can we teach artificial intelligence to share empathy with humans?

We humans have this capacity to learn to speak chinese in our infancy. Artificial intelligence is the product of years of research and development but still lack the capacity to express shared feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I have to disagree. Your assertion is contradicted by what's actually happening with tech. Here's just one example: https://www.wired.com/2016/06/pepper-emotional-robot-learns-feel-like-american/#slide-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
