U of T Talk Title: “Alexa – Are You My Friend?”: The Rise of the Social Robots

Alexa, Siri, Hey Google – these are all new technologies that represent social robots. This talk describes what these social robots are, how they work, and what communicating with robots means for human society. This research is part of a new branch of interaction called Human-Machine Communication, and Professor Rhonda McEwen is one of the international scholars defining this emerging field.
