TZID:Europe/Copenhagen
LOCATION:Aarhus\, Denmark
DESCRIPTION:<p>Sociable robots likely will play an increasing role in future everyday life--assisting and replacing humans in many contexts\, from caretaking to teaching to entertainment. &nbsp\;How will this affect human social interaction\, as notion and as practice? &nbsp\;Are there limits to the functional similation of social interaction? &nbsp\;How much of a &lsquo\;theory of mind&rsquo\; do robots need to be &lsquo\;sociable&rsquo\;? If we engage with robots as if they were persons\, how will this affect how we understand ourselves? &nbsp\;-- The conference<em><strong> </strong></em>will address these and other philosophical questions that arise with design and use of sociable robots. Conference contributions will present philosophical research that closely interacts with empirical studies of concrete applications of sociable robots in robotics\, psychology\, anthropology\, or cognitive science\, as well as relevant artificial intelligence research. The conference\, which will feature<strong> 40-60 speakers\, </strong>is organized in order to clarify the extent to which philosophical research can be used for the design and use of sociable robots.</p>\n<p><br> KEYNOTES</p>\n<p>Prof. Hiroshi Ishiguro\, Hiroshi Ishiguro/ATR Robotics lab\, Osaka University</p>\n<p>Prof. Illah R.
