Should Algorithms and Robots Mimic Empathy?
By Bertalan Meskó MD PhD
Robots telling jokes and chatbots acting as life coaches sound astounding and terrifying at the same time. Extensive research is going on lately in the field of applying human features, emotions, gestures, and reactions to digital technology; and it raises thousands of questions.
Three Questions:
- Could not only smart, but emotional algorithms or robots appear also in healthcare soon?
- Would there be a place or need for them?
- How would it impact the patient-doctor relationship or social interactions in general?

The fight over whether robots should have rights
EU lawmakers want to define the legal future of AI and ‘bots. Easier said than done.
Background: A 2017 European Parliament report suggested that robots could be granted “electronic personalities,” so they can be held liable if they “go rogue.”
Not so fast: In a letter to the European Commission, over 150 experts warn that granting robots legal personhood would be “inappropriate” from a “legal and ethical perspective.” They argue that doing so would let robot manufacturers off the hook.
So …? Eventually, liability laws will need a refresh when truly autonomous robots come online. In the meantime, one lawyer tells Politico that giving robots similar legal rights to those held by companies could solve the problem

We Need Computers with Empathy
An emerging trend in artificial intelligence is to get computers to detect how we’re feeling and respond accordingly. They might even help us develop more compassion for one another.
