What would you feel like if, in a few years from now, a robot will be able to bring you into a meditative state?
Last weekend, we invited people to experience this future.
The work on this project started when I asked myself: if everything was stripped away from humans, what would be left for us?
Intention. Being able to empathize with others, to make them feel something, to transfer energy from one to another.
But what if we copy the mechanics of being human precisely - would it still matter?
If someone feels comforted by an AI therapist or a robot that facilitates a meditative state, why would we care how they were able to reach it?
Thank you to everyone who joined us on the floor to explore this tension
and to Chelsea, @taurobots humanoid!
