How do you build a robot that had empathy?

On this episode of Approximately Correct, Amii Canada CIFAR AI Chair Angelica Lim joins hosts Alona Fyshe and Scott Lilwall to discuss the complex world of social robotics.

As the director of the ROSIE Lab at Simon Fraser University, Lim is focused on making robots friendlier, more fun, and more useful, allowing them to interact with humans more effectively and react to our social cues.

She dives into the challenges of adding empathy to artificial intelligence, why cultural diversity if important when it comes to training social machines, and why making robots into artificial friends might not actually be the ideal goal.
