(2006): Empathy, androids and ’authentic experience’. In: Connection Science 18 (4), S. 419-428. DOI: 10.1080/09540090600868847
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/09540090600868847 Abstract: Androids of the future will require the capacity for bodily experience, in addition to specific cognitive proficiencies. Interpersonal experiences, such as intimacy, empathy and felicity, provide the crucial sense of solidarity and connection that sustains relationships between humans. This study explores relationships between perceptual experience and perceptual competency and discusses implications for the design of people-oriented androids. Findings from an exploratory study of interpersonal perception indicate there is no relationship between objective performance and subjective experience based on thin slices of actor behaviour. However, correlations between experiences indicate that empathy and intimacy are linked and distinct from felicity. Analysis of gender effects indicates gender-distributed roles for empathy and intimacy. These imply design specifications for future androids that may be required to form relationships with people. Some conjectures on the phenomenology of the empathic and the moral android of the future are explored. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
