SUMMARY:Falling in love with artificial companions
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, 6 December 2024 from 10:00 – 12:00 at the 4th Floor Meeting Room\, Operations Building of the Faculty of Social Sciences for “Falling in love with artificial companions: with Professor of Philosophy Tõnu Viik\, Rector of Tallinn University\, Estonia. \nAbstract:\nIs it possible for human beings to establish romantic relationships with robots? What kind of otherness\, or alterity\, will be construed in the process of falling in love with a robot? Can a robotic companion mean more than being a tool for house-work\, a caretaker\, an aid of self-gratification\, or a sex-doll? Phenomenological analysis of love experience suggests that romantic feelings necessarily include experiencing the alterity of the partner as an affective\nsubjectivity that freely\, willingly\, and passionately commits to its partner. The romantic commitment is expected to stem from the sentient inner selves of the lovers\, which is one of the features that robots are lacking. Thus the artificial alterity might disengage our romantic aspirations\, and\, as argued by many\, will make them morally inferior to intraspecies love affairs. The current analysis will restrain from ethical considerations\, however\, and will focus on whether robots can in principle elicit human feelings of love.
