Conversation about robotic personality

Guided tour of the Hipertèlia exhibition based on a conversation between Gema FB Martín, psychologist and researcher specialising in artificial intelligence, and Mónica Rikić.

The key issues that inspired the exhibition’s conceptual development will be presented during this session by following a route that examines the social and emotional implications of cognitive technologies and the metaphors that define them. Gema will discuss the method of elaborating robotic thinking models based on her professional experience in the field of AI.
