Question

Do you think social robots would need to develop emotions when interacting with humans? Are there any risks if robots start feeling “emotions”? Should scientists really build such robots?

Answer 1

Yes

There are big risks for robots feeling emotions. This is good and bad. Robots can feel happy, excited, and emotional, which would be good emotions, drawing them closer to humanity. The bad thing is, they can feel anger and regret as emotions. These emotions would not be good if you did not want robots to riot or be offensive. Scientists could build these robots, and just find a way to exclude these dangerous emotions. That way, we could have better robot helpers that are like family.
