Robot Maria, Tin Man, Roy Batty, and David all had it to some degree. But creating intelligent robots with empathy is one thing on film and quite something else as we approach the doorway called the Singularity. Though we cannot predict the path through this new world with any certainty, there is vast space for speculation and Shrinkwrapped, the blogging psychiatrist, has taken up the challenge once more. This time, he deals with the question of coding empathy into human artificial intelligence. If you find this subject fascinating, here is your link. More inclined to explore it through entertainment? Add Metropolis (1927), The Wizard of Oz (1939), Blade Runner (1982) and Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) to your queue.
