The android parents of Raised By Wolves often seem more human than their organic counterparts. But if robots were to begin raising our children, doing all of our work, and adopting human characteristics, at what point would they be considered “alive?” On the premiere episode of Raised By Wolves: The Podcast, host Holly Frey talks to Peter Haas, Associate Director of the Humanity Centered Robotics Initiative at Brown University, who outlines the boundaries between androids and humans, and the challenges of being able to instill robots with the ability to morally reason. Plus, show creator Aaron Guzikowski talks about his experience working with legendary director Ridley Scott, and the real-life robotic science that inspired the series.
