Resume:

The discussion between Liliana Fernandez and Roberto Menéndez delves into the intersection of robotics, philosophy, and human emotions, particularly focusing on the concept of love and affective relationships with robots. Costa, a philosopher specializing in artificial intelligence ethics, and Menendez, a social robot developer, explore how robots might integrate into human lives, emotionally and socially. They debate whether love can be simulated by machines and the ethical implications of such interactions. The conversation touches on cultural differences, referencing Japan's approach to robots as companions, and the potential future where robots could serve as partners or even parental figures. Ethical considerations, such as programming robots to simulate emotions and the societal impact of these technologies, are central themes. The dialogue also speculates on the future of human-robot relationships, questioning whether robots could fulfill emotional needs more effectively than humans in some cases. The discussion concludes with reflections on the balance between technological advancement and preserving human values, emphasizing the need for ethical frameworks to guide the development of artificial intelligence.
