- Additional information
- The research reported in this output uses a classic experimental paradigm to show that while children are sensitive to robot pressure adults are not. The paper was chosen, by Science Robotics, as a highlight of the issue, and Science ran a Facebook Live event interviewing Belpaeme, the team leader. It was trailed by a range of international media and resulted in Belpaeme being invited to deliver keynote talks at a number of international conferences. The paper is important because it has informed policy about ethics and AI.
