Category:Thinking Further

After viewing the YouTube videos, either return here, or comment on YouTube in response to these questions for further thought:
 * 1) Audiences are prone to empathizing with non-human characters, and create personalities and narratives for these characters where none may exist (i.e. Planet Earth/Blue Planet documentary series, Disney/Pixar films). When it comes to AI, to what extent is our empathy with these characters projection? Is it possible to really connect with an AI character?
 * 2) The last video in the series looks at the Sony/Playstation short KARA. Watch the short film, and describe the techniques used to make Kara relatable: what narrative devices transform Kara from a robot and an AI into a sympathetic character?
 * 3) How have AI representations in Pop culture changed, from Frankenstein's creature to Kara? In what ways have they remained the same?
