What do you think of it?
Is it an emerging topic in the computer science field?
How would one get into the topic?
Honestly, I am not very computer-savvy, I am an MD, my branches of study are psychiatry and neurosciences yet robots and AI have always attracted my attention. Blame it on Terminator and other sci-fi movies, I guess. I wouldn't be able to spend the rest of my life designing a robot-waifu but I suppose it would be interesting to, after some years, develop something similar to a simple AI. Fuck! Might even use it as a model for future tests.
>tl;dr how do I into AI?
HAI DOMO!
