Ep 21 Auxane Boch - Video Games, Social Robotics and Ethics of AI

In today’s episode of Confessions of a CyberPsychologist, I chat to Auxane Boch ( / auxane-boch-2a958511b ) a Doctorate Candidate on Social Robotics and Researcher in Video Games and Ethics in AI.
We talk about video games, ethical AI and immersive reality and focus on:
01:02 Who Auxane is and what go her into CyberPsychology
05:49 How video games can be used for social education and how games can socially integrate individuals (the problem is not the tech, it’s the way we use it).
13:37 Whether or not late-night gaming amongst adults is a growing issue that we need to be concerned about.
17:14 ‘Interactional Systems’ vs Interactive Technology with AI, online games and robots.
20:13 The Immersive Realities Lab at TUM and the solutions and products that are being developed as part of the research.
27:53 How AI powered Social Robotics are being integrated into healthcare to help care for those who need additional help in daily life
31:47 The future of care with robotic use in the healthcare systems.
34:52 The ethical design for social robots from a psychological perspective.
38:46 The main ethical concerns around Artificial Intelligence.
41.39 The issue or possibility of AI increasing productivity and even-out the disparity of certain skillsets.
46:21 The possibility of AI becoming so ‘clever’ that they become sentient (have emotions, and feelings and the ability to reason) and take over tasks from humanity.
51:40 If AI ethics will help to clamp down on ‘dark-web’ operations, or if AI ethics will only apply to the general population who use AI in their daily work and lives?
57:36 Whether the media is generally getting better, or worst, at properly representing sound academic findings?
01:01:05 Auxane’s favourite Cyberpsychology related books that she recommends.
