Listen "Chappie and Consciousness"
Episode Synopsis
If you had a stolen police robot would you teach it: a) to be a thinker, b) to do heists, c) a strict but not well thought out set of morals that can be easily manipulated by bad actors and have terrible consequences for an entire city or d) all of the above? After watching Chappie, Christopher and Nathan have some thoughts. Today we discuss training AI programs, how to program consciousness and whether transferring consciousness is possible and what that even means.
