In this episode of "A Beginner's Guide to AI", we delve into the fascinating world of anthropomorphism in AI - humanising our machines. Starting with the concept's definition, we explore the psychological, design, and ethical dimensions that shape this phenomenon. The case of Sophia, the humanoid robot, serves as our guide, bringing to life the complexities of making AI more human-like. We ponder our cognitive predispositions, marvel at intentional design choices, and grapple with profound ethical dilemmas. How 'human' should we make our AI? Tune in and join us as we explore these captivating territories at the intersection of AI, psychology, and ethics.
