The idea of the mechanical beings we create inevitably dominating our species is a trope that goes back to before robotics were even possible. Even today, we seem to instinctively view any advancement in the development of Artificial Intelligence with a skeptical, paranoid, and even hostile perspective. But could our fears be the very thing that makes such eventualities likely?
In this episode I put forward a new perspective on ways we may approach our next creations and avoid such a fate. In particular, I outline a simple framework by which the nature of the interactions between humanity and its objects might take on a different set of overtones. By reassessing the emotional cues and feedback that define our interpretation of behavior, I seek to engender a more familiar and affectionate foundation between ourselves and the things we may soon find are possible.
