Brain Machines: Robots, Free Will and Fictional Prototyping as a Tool for AI Design
Summary
How can science fiction help prototype emerging science theory and experimentation? Expanding on the framework of consumer experience architecture, this talk explores how a fictional story, based specifically on current works of scientific research, can lead to the expansion and further experimentation of a dramatic new approach to artificial intelligence and domestic robots.
The talk will explore a novel and innovative methodology (science fiction prototyping) which facilitates the creation of new research opportunities and commercial products, based around the concept of integrating science fiction and fact within a regenerative prototyping cycle.
