When do artificial intelligences become people? This is one of the most profound ethical questions of all, a question raised by numerous works of science fiction over many decades. Using the 2014 film “Ex Machina” as a springboard, James explores this question with guest Meia Chita-Tegmark, co-founder of the Future of Life Institute and human-robot interaction expert.
