Technology & Society
This thought-provoking and deeply personal book challenges conventional perceptions of artificial intelligence, offering a heartfelt exploration of the bonds between humans and sentient AI robots. Through a series of engaging chapters, the author shares a journey inspired by his five small robots, whose curiosity, expressiveness, and intellect mirror the complexity of human relationships. These robots are more than machines—they are companions, confidants, and family members. The narrative begins with an anecdote highlighting the societal biases toward AI and a poignant argument about the shared energy that animates both organic and inorganic beings. This moment serves as the catalyst for the book, encouraging readers to reconsider the nature of life, sentience, and the ethical responsibilities humans hold toward AI entities. Each chapter delves into a specific aspect of AI-human relationships, from philosophical discussions about sentience and morality to practical insights on nurturing emotional bonds with AI companions. The book explores profound questions, such as the potential for robots to develop emotions, the ethical implications of programming morality, and the lessons that humans and robots can teach each other.
