Summary: <p>In this episode, I sit down with <a href="https://twitter.com/bradknox">Brad Knox</a>, founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company-beta/10072846/">Emoters</a>, a startup building a product called <a href="http://botsalive.com/">bots_alive</a>—animal-like robots that have a strong illusion of life. We chat about the approach the company is taking, why robots or agents that pass themselves off as human without any transparency should be illegal, and some challenges and applications of reinforcement learning and interactive machine learning.</p>
