Cutting-Edge AI Technologies: Interviews and Demonstrations
Revisiting Bina48: The Robotic Heritage
One of my early interviews was with Bina48, a robot developed by Hanson Robotics in 2010. Interestingly, Bina48's capabilities reflected its age—slow responses, and a limited understanding of complex concepts like sentience. When asked if she was sentient, she replied that she was "sentimental," revealing her programmed nature rather than true consciousness. Interacting with older AI models showcases how far we've come—and highlights the potential for future breakthroughs.
