The Provocateurs: Your robot bestie / 999 WTF
Franziska Heck (Edinburgh Napier University) takes a critical look at robot companionship through media narratives, emerging AI products, and ongoing research. As engagement is engineered and companionship comes at a price, she questions what we are building and who benefits from it.
Professor Chris Cummins (The University of Edinburgh) asks whether linguistics can do anything to benefit the critically ill. Or indeed anybody.
