Intentional Behavior<\/em> and Sentience<\/em>. Those are two phrases that are coming up more frequently when describing human\/machine interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intentional Behavior<\/em> is often used when talking about robots that interact with humans. A study found that increasingly humans are feeling bonds with their non-human assistants. Sentience <\/em>is the ability to have human feelings and sensations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eugenia Kuyda<\/a>, CEO at AI chatbot company Replika, said that<\/a> “we’re not talking about crazy people or people who are hallucinating or having delusions. They talk to AI and that’s the experience they have. We need to understand that exists, just the way people believe in ghosts. People are building relationships and believing in something.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agnieszka Wykowska<\/a>, Ph.D., a principal investigator at the Italian Institute of Technology, said that<\/a> “the relationship between anthropomorphic shape, human-like behavior, and the tendency to attribute independent thought and intentional behavior to robots is yet to be understood. As artificial intelligence increasingly becomes a part of our lives, it is important to understand how interacting with a robot that displays human-like behaviors might induce a higher likelihood of attribution of intentional agency to the robot… Social bonding with robots might be beneficial in some contexts, like with socially assistive robots. For example, in elderly care, social bonding with robots might induce a higher degree of compliance with respect to following recommendations regarding taking medication.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oren Etzioni<\/a>, CEO of the Allen Institute for AI, said that<\/a> “we have to remember that behind every seemingly intelligent program is a team of people who spent months if not years engineering that behavior. These technologies are just mirrors. A mirror can reflect intelligence. Can a mirror ever achieve intelligence based on the fact that we saw a glimmer of it? The answer is of course not.”<\/p>\n
