      Hi! Good question!

      I am in two minds about this – part of me thinks that a robot will never truly ‘be alive’, but another part of me thinks that with the advances in AI and robotics that we are seeing right now – then it might not be so far fetched!

      If a robot talks, walks, acts, thinks, and feels like a human (so you couldn’t tell the difference) – does that make it more or less alive? Interesting!
