Watch this video by a researcher who is demoing simulated #robot emotional body language. I think this research is Incredibly dangerous. We are giving machines the ability to manipulate us on an unconscious level. We WILL respond to them because we can’t help it. The robot’s loyalty, love, understanding is entirely fake because they don’t “feel”. If the robot expressions gave us honest insight into its real internal state, then it might be helpful. But I think what you would see, today, is complete indifference. I cannot see that changing.

I warned about this 11 years ago. A few researchers paid attention. Most did not. So here we are. More info at:
