The focus it rightly receives results in a merger of physical and digital. This focus also makes it place for technology and innovation, as well as a stage to display ethics. So a perfect spot for Empathetic Machines!41 min

About Empathetic Machines
From the publisher's feed
This is a podcast about a sort of “enchantment” we’re under– the technology watches and enables the machines to have an impact on us. For each episode we'll explore a hypothesis from multiple angles including what’s ethical, where are the lines, and how to handle increasingly fuzzy boundaries. Do we expect too much of our technology? Do we care or even understand what we’re trading away?
We ponder where machines ‘’quantified us”... in great detail... for extraordinary insight. And we'll consider where the quantified human becomes a directed or even controlled. With a bit of irreverence, we'll conduct this investigation through a series of discussions, thought experiments, and examples.
We want to get under the covers on who gets to set boundaries around technology and why they do it. We will explore how much we should trust these boundaries setters to make good decisions for us.
