Theories discussed in this talk around the reptilian brain lack legitimate scientific support. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfAlberto Mattiello talks about how the human-machine relationship is the key to the future of humanity: understanding it means evolving. Starting from the three human brains – reptile (instinct), Libycus (emotions) and Cortex (reason) – he will explore how machines are following a similar but inverse path: from the intellect of language systems to the empathy of affective computing, up to the physicality of robotics. This journey reveals not only risks and biases, but above all the opportunities of a world where every technology will have a personality, transforming the way we live and work.
