According to our science fiction, it is going to be a watershed moment. And no, it hasn't happened yet. Although we don't have a good definition of what consciousness even is. The watershed moments have been more about the animals that we find very cute or that we relate to in some way emotionally like Pomeranians.
Are robots going to take over? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson & comic co-host Negin Farsad explore our future with artificial intelligence by looking at our past with animals with robot ethicist and author of A New Breed, Dr. Kate Darling.
