Most people think the main breakthroughs in AI will be about speed, scale, or automation. But futurist and Wired founder Kevin Kelly believes the arrival of emotional AI will 'make people go bananas'.
Kelly explains how coding emotions into AI will change how we bond with machines in ways more powerful than search or automation alone.
He shares insights on why we’ll treat AIs like pets, how consciousness exists on a spectrum, and why he calls them “artificial aliens” more like Spock than human.
