You Go Bina48!

Now this is impressive! Bina48 is a human-like robot that lives at the Terasem Movement Foundation in Bristol, Vermont. A replica of the real Bina Rothblatt, who is also the Vice President and co-founder of the Terasem Movement Foundation, Bina48 is the future of what can be done in the world of artificial intelligence.

While it may be a little creepy to have a conversation with a robot, I’m excited to cool advances like this in technology. In a way, Bina48 reminds me of a mix  of the Terminator and 2001: A Space Odyssey. While watching the video, I also found myself rooting for Bina and I’m sure the time will come when Bina will be able to have a full conversation with no glitches in speech.

Check out the video and let me know what you think.
