Should Social Robots be Used to Provide Emotional Support?
PARO is a cuddly baby seal used as an emotional companion robot in elder care. Emotional companion robots provide some of the benefits of therapy animals, without the attendant challenges of a live animal.
But while emotional companion robots can provide comfort to older adults, they might also provide a way out for human caretakers. Beyond the question of substitution, ethical concerns about the potentially deceptive nature of emotional companion robots make PARO the adorable seal into something a bit less cuddly and a bit more ethically challenging.
This episode will untangle the dilemma posed by social robots. Cynthia Chauhan (a patient advocate and two-time cancer survivor) will share her experience using one; Ari Waldman (an authority on the nexus of law and technology) will discuss the issues that arise when animatronics replace human caretakers.
