http://www.veritas.org - Are humans and robots the same? Could we ever build a human? Rodney Brooks, professor emeritus of robotics at MIT and founder and CTO of Heartland Robots and atheist, and Rosalind Picard, founder and director of the Affective Computing Research Group at MIT and Christian, provide two very different answers to the question.

From The Veritas Forum at MIT, 2007: "Living Machines: Can Robots Become Human?" Watch the full forum at veritas.org: http://www.veritas.org/Media.aspx#/v/18

Over the past two decades, The Veritas Forum has been hosting vibrant discussions on life's hardest questions and engaging the world's leading colleges and universities with Christian perspectives and the relevance of Jesus.

  • @Believer977 Yes, we really do not know what consciousness is ... But probably we, as robots may be able to understand, change and be able to make a human being almost 100%, but not biological ... Sorry for my english

  • I respect MIT more than any other place of higher learning. That being said.....Scientifically, we can not figure out how consciousness emerges. As much as we know about the brain, we can not explain why consciousness is or how it works. If you want to say the brain is a biological computer, I could agree with that. It obviously process input and transmits output. To say or imply "Humans are Robots" is a very ignorant statement considering how much we do not know about consciousness itself.

  • wow watta woman!
