Interesting and thought provoking

  • Book Rating: 4/5

The lecture offers two perspectives - one from a clinical psychologist - and the other from a robotics engineer. Both individuals are interested in the emotional components of decision-making and intelligence. They alternate speaking on their respective areas of experience and fill the lecture with interesting examples. The only negative to the lecture was that it did not go into detail on robotics: it was more about the mind and the emotions.
