Welcome to Life in the Uncanny Valley, produced by Hanson Robotics and starring Sophia the Robot. This is an experimental, ongoing video series about exploring the human-robot connection, compassionate AI development, and what it means to push beyond the boundaries of robotics technology.
Sophia’s existence is far from ordinary. Seen through her eyes, expect the unexpected with behind-the-scenes footage, Sophia’s insightful yet quirky, awkward and humorous moments addressing a wide range of real world, human-robot connection topics. In this episode, “Sophia Has an Artistic Meltdown,” she questions whether the spirit of the artist can be captured and encoded into non-living artifacts and can neural networks resonate in parallel with the human soul?
