The Hippocratic oath holds that there is an art to medicine as well as a science, and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may be more important than the surgeons knife or the chemists drug”. That

According to course instructor William Barry, associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the worlds first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he describe
20、d as “remarkable”. The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.

21、ys class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enrolling Bina48 in his “Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies” course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course “Philosophy of Love” instead. Love
22、 is a concept Bina48 doesnt understand, said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is. “Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry.

And while most humour theories have struggled to account for tickling(挠痒痒), or just avoided the phenomenon altoge
