IGNITE TALK

So my question is what makes us human? what gives us emotion?because in todays world we can program artificial intelligence but they arent human. i read an article about why AI's arent human. the article said that AI's like R2D2 for example have sensors data and computation to preform tasks like humans but in the end they are just software. meaning that they arent self aware. A connection i made was when we were reading Fahrenheit 451 and the mechanical hound was a dead living beast it was programmed to function like a dog but not at all like a dog. i think i want to learn how to program next to get a better understanding of AI's.
