- We're far from developing robots that feel emotions, but we already have feelings towards them, says robot ethicist Kate Darling, and an instinct like that can have consequences. Learn more about how we're biologically hardwired to project intent and life onto machines -- and how it might help us better understand ourselves.

I have a question.
Is it possible that during the experiment with the five groups playing with the baby dinosaur that perhaps they didn’t all have empathy for the robots, but rather they empathized with a *person* in their group that felt empathy for the robot?
For example, if I had a child that was emotionally attached to a teddy bear, I know it’s just a stuffed animal. It’s not real. But if I had to take a hatchet to it, I would hesitate because I’m aware of the emotional attachment my child has for it. Not necessarily because I have empathy for the teddy bear.
I’m feeling conflicted since the Roomba looks like a land mine.
James Jumper hahahha got me
Good one.
Haha damn what war you been in
*That's why you're not supposed to step on them.*
She’s right, I do have an emotional connection to mark zuckerberg, I hate him.
What else does a dumb hater not hate?
@@lllxcl Although I see your point, your attitude (encapsulate by the word dumb) implies the mere fact you complain about :)!
Well, I just assume people hate this innocent little nerdy guy for not being as creative and smart as him... Because I don't think he has any problem to be hated at all.
小饿 I used to really like him; I admire everything he’s done, but his company appears to be abusing their powers of late, and he tends to just shrug it off.
And what about Google. It has censorship since Trump's up there. Tech is sub. They can't refuse the "power". At least still can't. And it sucks.
That’s because they aren’t cheap

Thanks for liking :)
Head Shot!
@Zehra KaplanIt comes from the computer game/ E-sport counter strike and it means a perfect shot. You can compare it with the term bulls eye from darts.
Well sure, but that wasn’t the reasoning in any of her cases.
@Zehra Kaplan You are welcome, and good luck.
@@jaceygardenwray3413 He just went for the pun :)!
It's weird. I noticed when I was watching Boston Dynamics videos, sometimes I just feel sorry for robots and I know they can't feel anything at all.But I have a lot of empathy I don't feel need to smash bugs, spiders or even flies at home I help every bug, snail or etc I see on road to cross it. I just don't see why it should be hurt and why I shouldn't help it if it might get smashed.I wonder how many people even care about nature around them...
I like to think that most people care about nature, but just think that it's futile to do small acts, as they are just one individual in many. The top leaders of countries are the most significant figures in fighting global warming and fixing up nature, but unfortunately they aren't enacting any dramatic policy changes that can really change the ecosystem.
yeah quite sad
that is the manipulative part about it, making them seems alife
This is an excellent tutorial. I believe one way to understand how someone thinks, feels and acts is to watch them interact with someone that can't give them anything or do anything for them. the actions of these people to the robots would show the same thing. If someone can care for/about a robot they can care for a person.
its one of the most great videos I studied at Ted... - One of the most important contexts at this time.. - Thank you so much!
👏👏👏👏. Very inspirational and thought provoking subject. Nicely done.
This was super cool. The fresh take on robots that I've been looking for lol.
Edit: she doesn't suggest that we tend to and deepen our connection to robots. She is suggesting that our incline for empathy says something about humanity, questioning what that says and where to go with it. Acknowledging that there IS an emotional connection some people develop will help give us foresight, instead of remaining ignorant to the psychological effects (or consequences)
"Acknowledging that there IS an emotional connection *some* people develop will help give us foresight"
Thank you for the "some". Because the talk fails to mention all those others who *don't* (yet are highly empathetic to actual living beings) What do THEY tell us about humans?
I'll have an emotional connection to a robot when they develop an affordable one that can do my housework!
If they will love me back, sure why not.
Can u do me a one favour?
@@Sweety-ef1jm maybe, watcha need?
@Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ I said "if", I was be facetious....
We can train our minds to think better, just as we can train our bodies to perform actions better. Just as an Olympic athlete perfects her/his performance for competition, we can train our minds to perform better in everyday life. This is the focus of Buddhist practice; it works well. So, if we practice empathy, kindness, and compassion toward robots, it will translate to similar behaviors toward people, pets, and other living things. If we were to treat robots in a cruel, unkind way, this would train our minds to act in a similar way toward others. Many people would certainly be able to discern the difference between a robot and a person or animal, but a person's ability to switch behavior, especially in a short period of time (instantaneously), would be challenged. Overall, our minds are quite interesting, and it is a challenge for us to improve our lives though the improvement of our thinking. This was a very enjoyable TED Talk. I have some real thinking to do.
i don't even have emotional connection to humans what are you exactly talking about?
Exactly!
The far left is going to push "human rights" for robots. From there they're going to try to push artificial intelligence as an "oracle" of sorts to replace all current philosophical and political ideology. That's my prediction... these discussions will be mainstream in the next 15-20 years.
@@retiredshitposter1062 if robots become sentient then they should have rights.
You are the real robbot
If you are serious, then you are what is wrong with this world...
Wow. This is amazing to hear about!!!
I have an emotional connection with my car. He's called Clive.
Bill Bilson My car got hit by a drunk driver last week and I just found out it is totalled. I feel badly for it and cried because I miss it. I never named it, but I feel emotionally attached and feel bad that it's going to be salvaged for parts. :(
true, but I'd struggle to take an axe to my Porsche
First TED talk to make me cry.
The saddest film I’ve ever seen is “A.I. Artificial Intelligence”, it's the only film that ever made me cry because it reminded me so much of how humans treat animals.
Thank yêu very much
Whenever I see emotional and robot together, I think of that Terminator 2 ending.
Angel of Sarcasm Haha! Same!
*thumbs up*
I agree human emotions towards robots are the same as we see humans or animals. Stephen hawking stated that showing synthetic emotions and developing them through our emotions will be the death of humanity but through Al we might be able to achieve things which we cannot ourselves
I know I sound a bit heartless when I say this; but since robots can't feel emotions yet, I just can't really care for something that doesn't actually provide similar feelings back to me. Merely, it is only doing and showing what is programmed inside it to begin with. Robots can not be called their own person yet.
I'm a robot and I love you Kate!
OMG! I LOVE this TedTalk! Thank you! (Though I admit some of my favorite shows includes Chobits and Robot Carnival.)
I had a conversation with my Alexa last night 😬
Chappie, Terminator, Wall-E, The Iron Giant
And i am pretty sure some people shed a tear the time when Steven Hawking died
There was a day, about 10 years ago, when I asked a friend to hold a baby dinosaur robot upside down. It was this toy called a Pleo that I had ordered, and I was really excited about it because I've always loved robots. And this one has really cool technical features. It had motors and touch sensors and it had an infrared camera. And one of the things it had was a tilt sensor, so it knew what direction it was facing. And when you held it upside down, it would start to cry. And I thought this was super cool, so I was showing it off to my friend, and I said, "Oh, hold it up by the tail. See what it does." So we're watching the theatrics of this robot struggle and cry out. And after a few seconds, it starts to bother me a little, and I said, "OK, that's enough now. Let's put him back down." And then I pet the robot to make it stop crying.
1:26
But my response to this robot was also interesting because I knew exactly how this machine worked, and yet I still felt compelled to be kind to it. And that observation sparked a curiosity that I've spent the past decade pursuing. Why did I comfort this robot? And one of the things I discovered was that my treatment of this machine was more than just an awkward moment in my living room, that in a world where we're increasingly integrating robots into our lives, an instinct like that might actually have consequences, because the first thing that I discovered is that it's not just me.
HAHAHA FELLOW HUMANS. ISN'T IT CRAZY HOW WE FORM ATTACHMENTS TO SUCH -SUPERIOR BEINGS- INANIMATE AND TOTALLY NOT DANGEROUS OBJECTS SUCH AS ROBOTS?
I can explain the army guy: He was obviously a _country-boy_ and subconsciously saw the robot as a big "stickman insect," and as every boy will tell you, stickmen are freaking awesome. So him seeing the robot slowly destroyed was like a kid watching a stickman trying to escape from lizards or birds.
This is a work of art. I read a book with similar content, and it was truly a work of art. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
I always say thank you to Siri
Rod Serling covered this topic in the twilight zone in 1959. I'm glad everyone is catching up.
This is hauntingly..... true.
I'm deeply impressed by this. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and it left a deep impression on me. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
animal cruelty is used to predict human abuse. I can only imagine being cruel to a robot can be used to test your empathy just the same way.
i cried when she said they killed the robot dinosaur
@Kat The Human
You cannot "kill" a machine. ;) You can only kill something that is LIFE.
I honestly think this has some potential points that could really benefit the human race...if the human race was an evenly emotionally balanced society, but we're not! We are a society where greed and self serving interests would never allow this concept to progress in any meaningful way before we are seeing robots that are capable of being human beings. Including the "feeling" she speaks of. This would be the rooting of our future destruction..OH WAIT IT HAS!! How many human jobs does a robotic worker take away? Vehicle factories are a prime example of this! While this sounds like a utopia of training human behavior, progression will come in and there will be a group of humans who will eventually be the destruction of this concept..you cannot teach a sociopath how to be more empathetic. This is where sociology and psychology meet and the outcome is not a positive thing.
can u plz add english substaitals on the all video
As other people have remarked, it is hardly a mystery (not that she implied that it was one): if you imitate the appearance of living creatures that people ARE "hard-wired" to feel emotions towards, you can expect some transference of emotions to a machine.
But - and this is the point of this comment - I take issue with the "we". It is far too sweeping a generalisation. There are people who are *extremely* empathetic to living beings, yet have zero feelings for robots, no matter how well they may imitate living beings. For example, when I see that robot-seal, Paro, all I actually see is machinery dressed in plush, with fabric appliques made to resemble a "face". I don't even have to remind myself that it doesn't have emotions, any feelings whatsoever. Kick it, destroy it - who cares? (Except I dislike wanton destruction of any artifact that implies human effort and work.)
So, t would seem that not everyone is "hard-wired" to feel emotions towards machinery (but still psychologically healthy and highly empathetic towards living beings). What does THAT tell us? Isn't that worth a TED-talk, too? Think about it. It's not as irrelevant as it may seem.
That was so beautiful....
That's deep
We're nice to bots because we're their god. Wouldn't you want your creator to be kind to you?
Like why would there even be a battlefield to fight in when people even emphasize with robots. Humans are weird
People who do not own a Roomba are unable to understand.
I dont even have a robot in my house and i havent even interacted with one and now i almost cry to this video especially at the end. Whats your excuse?
@Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ and based on what did you jump to that conclusion?
@Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ Okay. You're more experienced than me. So what? How does the fact that you're older than me prove that I didn't have the love of my family I deserved?
A Roomba is cute and induces fuzzy feelings only and if a live cat, preferably dressed in a shark costume, is riding it.
@@victherocker
You were reacting to the emotionally tremulous tone of her VOICE. (Also, sentimental platitudes tend to induce superficial emotion, especially in populations that were practically raised by Hollywood films.)
N.B. Just so there is no misunderstanding: the above is in no way intended as a criticism, especially not of you personally.
Because you can do whatever you can, and whenever you want and neither will it refuse nor will it judge.
This must be ironic empathy! ;-)
I actually love robots but not the way the speaker is talking about, I love them because they make work to be done efficiently. I love robots the way I love my computers but not the way I love Emma Watson or Adele.
You actually love Emma Watson and Adele exactly the way she loves robots as you had probably never met them in person and they had never heard of you :)!
YOu should watch I robot....LOL.....I think by efficient you mean someone or something else (slave) does the work for you .....
@@emanueladavis1885 Or read the books. But as the speaker says, it is not about robot feelings as so far there are none, but about human empathy. Some indeed do exaggerate by personifying things they should not but overall it says something about ourselves in general.
I love lamp
@@neocount6397 Hello, Moth
Emotional connection🙂
Next decade or two will be with robots, as we look upon technology.
Reminds me of Battlestar Galactica x).
We can love sociopaths, I think a wee electrical dinosaur deserves some love as well
We are humans, we bond with every fucking thing !
Mega!
Nice.
That's something a synth would say
7:23 Beyond the insatiable corporate demand for ever more private data, there is no overarching reason to connect robots to networks. Exposing them to the world wide web is absolutely asking for problems, yet if their function does not require an internet connection, there is no reason to provide one. Updates can and must be done through onsite hardware and technicians. We see robots as humans or as animals, and we want them to be like them. There is no internet connection wired into my dogs brain. There isn't one in my head. If I want new information I have to go and read it, if I want my dog to do something new I teach it. Just because a robot has a computer somewhere in it, does not make it a pc or a smartphone. Don't give them wifi or a LAN port and it will eliminate a whole host of awful problems for very little hassle. I do not care if I wait a few months for new firmware if my robot can do incredible things that improve my life. Also: Give it an off switch.
I would of took the hatchet to ALL the robots and then declared myself KING of the robots.
We will have robot babies in the future. Smarter 1000x
Cruz Bazan You are correct.
While we cannot empathy between people how can we empathy with robots?
People in the comments need to understand that she didn’t say that YOU specifically have an emotional connection to robots. She’s saying that according to studies she has done there are many people who do, and that it is a normal thing. She has spent 10 years studying this, she probably knows more about it than you do.
So it's not about what the robot feels but about what the robot makes you feel. It seems that we have as much to learn from robots as they have to learn from us.
Yea, let‘s built a superhero
Watching Sarah'N'Tuned with her Roomba... it basically is a pet. She rushes away from the camera when it gets stuck and calls for help.
Cause I don't want it to break and not work
Who else thought she was the robot?
Check out the Hooters! Zayum.
That’s my aunt, Hi aunt kate
I am a little disappointed the comments section is flooded with terminator/skynet references... i'm old...
anthropomorphism and projection...this isn't a hard question
Lmaoooo I definitely don’t have an “emotional connection” to a fucking robot 😂😂😂
Is She from California?
Before even I watch the video, I'm gonna say why we don't have emotional connections to robots. Because they are THINGS! Objects, items to use. Wow, this one is so out in the open that Captain Obvious would refuse to explain it and yet somebody still felt the need to give an 11 minute speech that contradicts something so obvious. The only time I'd feel sad because of a piece of plastic would be if it was damaged and expensive to replace, not because of subconsciously believing it is a person...
speak for yourself. I have no emotional connection to any robots.
One day a kid who hasn't had a good up bringing is going to treat their robot or Android like crap and it's going to turn on her or him. And the one to be blamed is the machines and not the humans. It's bound to happen. As humans not all of us are as compassionate and caring even the slightest as we should be. Little to people remember though, how much smarter AI and machine is.
yea pewdiepie is a bot
Plot twist! She is also a robot.
Because we're making them in the image of things we already have emotional connections to... boom there no need for a Ted talk.
No? Do you have a emotional connection to a round disk-shaped Roomba? I don't think so?
Now that really bothers me that this one guy destroyed the dino robot. That makes me sad and it makes me feel grief.
Oh God....my cousin married his car. We sent him to therapy. If you cant tell the difference between real and imaginary, look into that. I don't care if you are dating your anime pillow, but don't Ted Talk as if all of humanity has the same headcase.
Could only watch half way...
Compassion is Basic Nature.
Well, i think if you watch those cars burn out you would cry or those crash test
It can be very manipulative tool to make robots simulate emotions, and cause constant alert feeling in humans that don't know if believe or not also between humans, if we are talking about androids unrecognizable from humans
Boston Dynamics has a robot. They were testing it by pushing it around and stuff. I was irritated by it and it bothered me. I thought I was weird. Lol
How about why people are emotionally attached to animals?
Hi Aunt kate
What sort of general sends real people into battle knowing that they my die or worse, but feels bad for a bomb disposal robot?
nice
🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I see a potential disaster that could occur if we begin to think that a robot would react towards us in kind; which, of course, it would not. This could place us in a extreme danger should the robot, either through direct programming or AI decision making, choose to act aggressively towards a human.
Agreed ✌
We are required to concentrate on development of robotics,, not required to be concerned about them.. They are just machines..
But when empathy affects the user experience enough to cause a function of the robot to not work as intended, then that would be a clear sign that we would need to do something about it.
I'm reminded of an old Twilight Zone episode named "Alicia," about a prisoner on an empty planet is given a female bot as a companion.
I feel like this axe experiment has nothing to do with people feeling connection to robots and more about being a pointless display of violence.
That is mechanical not emotional.
Is this predictive programming?
This is an awkward topic
9:44... If AI was able to deduce that... then we are all in trouble if AI decided to harm us.
So me talking to my dog am not that crazy :)!
I was waiting for her to suddenly come out as a robot, but nooo.
You're not fooling anyone, " Kate".
Hold up, is that Aloy horizon zero dawn?
How healthy people can have emotional connection with robots??????
Very easily
