:05:02
The word that I used was "Iove. "
:05:05
Like the love of a child
for its parents.
:05:08
I propose that we build
a robot-child who can love.
:05:12
A robot-child who will genuinely love
the parent it imprints on. . .
:05:17
. . .with a love that never ends.
:05:19
A child-substitute Mecha?
:05:21
But a Mecha with a mind,
with neuronal feedback.
:05:25
I'm suggesting
that love will be the key. . .
:05:28
. . .by which they acquire
a subconscious never before achieved.
:05:32
An inner world of metaphor,
of intuition. . .
:05:34
. . .of self-motivated reasoning,
of dreams.
:05:38
A robot that dreams?
How exactly do we pull this off?
:05:42
It occurs to me. . .
:05:45
. . .with all this animus existing
against Mechas today. . .
:05:49
. . .it isn't just creating
a robot who can love.
:05:53
But isn't the real conundrum,
can a human love them back?
:05:57
Ours will be a perfect child, always
loving, never ill, never changing.
:06:02
With all the childless couples
yearning for a license. . .
:06:06
. . .our Mecha will open up a new
market and fill a great human need.
:06:11
But you haven't answered my question.
:06:14
If a robot could genuinely
love a person. . .
:06:18
. . .what responsibility does that person
hold toward that Mecha in return?
:06:25
-It's a moral question, isn't it?
-The oldest one of all.
:06:29
But in the beginning, didn't God
create Adam to love him?
