While most discussions on this topic tend to focus on theoretical artificial intelligence of the future, the programme instead looks at technologies that attempt to connect with us emotionally and might already be allowing us to form intense emotional bonds to machines - zeroinfluencer from Bookmarklet

"One week later, all the subjects were quizzed about their memory of the product. Here’s where things get disturbing: While students who saw the low-imagery ad were extremely unlikely to report having tried the popcorn, those who watched the slick commercial were just as likely to have said they tried the popcorn as those who actually did. Furthermore, their ratings of the product were as favorable as those who sampled the salty, buttery treat. Most troubling, perhaps, is that these subjects were extremely confident in these made-up memories. The delusion felt true. They didn’t like the popcorn because they’d seen a good ad. They liked the popcorn because it was delicious. The scientists refer to this as the “false experience effect,” since the ads are slyly weaving fictional experiences into our very real lives." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

"Two researchers -- Johannes Kopf from Microsoft, and Dani Lischinski from The Hebrew University -- have successfully created an algorithm that depixelizes and upscales low-resolution 8-bit "pixel art" into lush vector graphics. The algorithm identifies pixel-level details to accurately shade the new image -- but more importantly, the algorithm can create smooth, curved contour lines from only-connected-on-the-diagonal single pixels. Look at the Super Mario World dolphin below, and compare it to the original source sprite below that: the results speak for themselves." - zeroinfluencer from Bookmarklet

In a demonstration at a Tokyo showroom, an owner of a plug-in Prius hybrid found out through a cellphone message from his Prius that he should remember to recharge his car overnight. When the owner plugged in his car to recharge it, the car replied, "The charge will be completed by 2:15 a.m. Is that OK? See you tomorrow." - zeroinfluencer from Bookmarklet

"It sounds strange when you first read it: behavioural change to accommodate the invisible gaze of the machines, just in case there’s an invisible depth-camera you’re obstructing. And at the same time: the literacy to understand that there when a screen is in front of a person, there might also be an optical relationship connecting the two – and to break it would be rude." - zeroinfluencer from Bookmarklet

Please submit your outstanding, dazzling, hilarious or thought-provoking short film. Films should be between one to eight minutes long. JUST ONE REQUIREMENT: please feature a robot as one of the main characters as or framing devices of the narrative. No limit on what kind of film you can submit, but these could be interesting: Robot Comedy Tours Dramatic Storytelling Anything celebrating robot & human futures Cheeky robot exercise videos Military robot love stories Machines that catalyze connections between people New explorations of performance Research Robot Bloopers Animation Please also scroll down to the themes on our about page. Extra credit for exploring new frontiers, memes and societal contexts for your mighty mechanicals.

"Listening you can follow the dancers around the room as you can with the spotlights in Kerbel’s piece, and as other visitors enter the space or traverse it they become performers, sometimes moving with the recorded sound, at others adding to the piece with their footsteps, whilst most are inclined to gather at the edges of the class and observe the invisible dancers rehearse their pieces." - zeroinfluencer from Bookmarklet
