The concept of an increasingly empathetic robot is closely aligned to Data in the Star Trek Voyager series. Students can argue for or against the definition of an increasingly empathetic human like android or for a separation between a robotic function and personhood. They can catalogue and connect this fictional story to current marketing and science technology development of increasingly empathetic speech and emotion reflective robots. To what extent should personhood be a part of the word "robot" or not? The movie and its multiple perspectives can be viewed and commented and retold by robots.Dr. Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144152165815942010noreply@blogger.com
