Build Humans Back Better

Manuel, Cho, Sam

Hi Cho! Hi Sam! Great that you could both make it!

Sure, no problem! Hi everyone! 😊                                                         

Hi all! You want to talk about robots again? 😄

Actually, no, and we’d be leaving Cho out …😄

Except for the machinery in our lab, I’m not really into robotics 😄

I’d like to interview you both about cognitive enhancement

That does sound more up my alley!                                                        

So, is this about AI and brain implants?

Well, yes and no, I mean, not just about that …

I’d also like to hear your views on the idea of enhancement as such

Like, philosophically, ethically?                                                                

I did take a course on the ethics of AI (Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics), but I’m not sure whether that’s the same

Let me explain a bit then:

Remember the piece about science and sci-fi John and I were working on? Life Imitating Science

Sure, that was very interesting! 😊                                                         

And that actually was about robots … again! 😊                          

I know you love talking about robots, so I keep bringing them up …

Thanks to Julia we started writing on all the ways humans have tried to improve themselves

A kind of history of tool use?

Or medicine?                                                                                               

Both actually! That’s why I need both your expertise here: this is about prosthetics.
