Social Robot Futures is a venue for discussing how AI and robotics are changing what it means to be “human,” what “intelligence” stands for, how bodies and the Earth “matter,” and who counts as socially “productive.” Given big tech’s faith in algorithms and its plans for “AI everywhere,” the site hosts research into the industry’s founding assumptions in fiction, myth, and religion, and highlights debates in which “our future” with AI is at stake.

Whether or not it is true that “most people doing AI don’t have doubt that we’re machines,” the conflation of human and machine intelligence remains debatable. Such doubts underlie the information and ideas available on this site. Follow our BLOG for updates and commentary; and see RESOURCES for bibliographies and links.
