Recent media coverage of AI has focused on the worrisome aspects of technology going rogue. But what if we asked another question: What possibilities are there for humans to build relationships, friendships, with AI? TJ Klune’s “In the Lives of Puppets” explores the journey one human will take to protect the androids he loves. Moderated by Archivist of the United States Colleen Shogan.
