Today s robots are so advanced that they are learning to dance like humans . But can they think like us? That s the question Associate Professor Hanna Kurniawati from the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science is trying to answer. She has spent much of her career researching ways to develop smarter and more reliable robots that can not only think like us, but empathise too. I think there needs to be a differentiation as to whether artificial intelligence (AI) and robots are behaving ethically and whether the development of AI and robots is done ethically, Associate Professor Kurniawati says. We are looking into this exact issue by trying to develop AI and robots that can account for the concerns of others, which is the first step towards empathy.
