rdigitalife - ROBOT EVOLUTION - intro

How is evolution changing? From pacemakers to artificial limbs, humans are becoming increasingly "robotic"... meanwhile robots are becoming more advanced, more sentient and more living. Are man and machine truly merging? What are the possibilities, the ethics and the emotional implications of robot evolution?

In Ryerson University's innovative new interview series, Ray Kurzweil (The Singularity is Near), Sherry Turkle (Alone Together), Rosalind Picard (Affective Computing), Matt Gray (robot acting coach), Rob Spence (the Eyeborg), and Thiago Caires (Bionik Labs) share their thoughts on the merging of man and machine. What do you think?

Good video. At some point I thought "thiago caires" on the video was "synthetic". Interesting that I begin to suspect real humans. Lines are blurring quickly.
