Seeing Ourselves in Robots: A Curious Look at Anthropomorphism In-Person
This presentation will not be discussing Large Language Models or complex AI systems. And we won’t be building robots from scratch either. Instead, come join us for a fun and curious look at how we humans can’t help but see life in machines.
Through simple robot demos and interactive moments, we’ll explore how easily we project emotions, intentions, and personalities onto even the most basic robots. It’s a lighthearted dive into the very human habit of treating machines like they’re alive.
