It’s easy to think artificial intelligence is objective. It doesn’t have emotions. It operates based on cold hard calculations.

In this episode of Sidedoor, we step into the Smithsonian’s FUTURES exhibition to meet a very special robot who asks us to consider: whose image will be reflected in our AI future?
