What happens when artificial intelligence moves off the screen and into your home?
In this episode of HardWired: The Human Algorithm, Lena Chauhan speaks with experimental AI researcher Emily Genatowski, whose work explores that question in an extraordinary way: by sharing her home with an AI humanoid robot named Tova.
Their conversation goes far beyond the technology itself. They explore what happens when machines begin to occupy traditionally human spaces & the questions this raises around gender, companionship, trust, care, work and our tendency to anthropomorphise technology.
Emily shares what living alongside a humanoid robot has taught her about human behaviour, why she sees the home as a laboratory for understanding our technological future, and why the decisions we make about embodied AI today could shape how these machines become part of everyday life.
A fascinating conversation about robots - but ultimately, an even more revealing conversation about us.
