The AI sisters
There is no doubt, Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of our everyday
lives. We find it everywhere from social media algorithms to e-commerce, but not everyone is comfortable with the
idea. For this reason, the Creators of AI have designed a family of
robot “sisters".
The murder scene from Act V of Othello contains an act of femicide: Othello kills his wife Desdemona, whom he accuses of being unfaithful. Othello acts under two basic instincts or impulses, called Eros (sexual instinct) and Thanatos (aggressive instinct). According to psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, human beings share these natural instincts with animals but the difference is that humans can (or at least should) control them, letting their “ego” prevail and suppress those instincts. Actually, it’s our subconscious to be exposed to these impulses, but there’s still our ego whose job is to try to calm them down.
