Ethical Robots
Daniel discusses fascinating research showing how children's perceptions of a robot's worthiness of respect can be influenced by the robot's responses. If a robot demands moral treatment, kids are more likely to believe it deserves respect; otherwise, they feel it's acceptable to mistreat it.

The conversation also touches on the intriguing concept of simulation theory, prompting reflections on the nature of reality itself.In this clip
