Against imaginary friends: why digital companions are no solution to social isolation: Communications of the ACM
This provocative article debates the technological progress toward “digital humans” versus “digital companions.” The argument: less is more, but not necessarily good enough. Sparrow and Brown ask three provocative questions:
“Should we reduce... more

Computational modelling of robot personhood and relationality
If humans and robots were able to roam around the same spaces, mutually recognizing each other for what they are, how would those interactions go? How can we model such interactions in a way that we can reason about and understand the implications of a given behavior? This book aims to answer this... more

Quantum computing for the brain
Have you ever wondered why the human brain correctly distinguishes between a flute and a piano yet our measures of timbre (quality of sound) are not foolproof, that is, they are more sensitive to pitch and less to timbre? It is because the brain already knows how a flute or a piano sounds, and it then performs a... more
