AI robot attends college, including a course about love Light On Conspiracies

BINA48, a robot owned by lawyer, author, and entrepreneur Martine Aliana Rothblatt's Terrasem Movement Foundation (TMF) is living the life of any normal college student in America: She attends classes at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California, and every once in a while gets excused from those classes when she needs to get a facelift at Hanson Robotics. She also got excused from class that one time she was invited to ring the bell at the stock exchange, so her schedule isn't exactly like other students'. BINA48, who looks like a live flesh-and-blood woman, at least from the head to the shoulders, is now pursuing a rather interesting subject at the university, given that she is a work of artificial intelligence (AI): a Philosophy of Love course. For a final project, she and a human student presented philosophical perspectives on love, showing the world that a robot can have thoughts and views on the subject. As of the fall of 2017, BINA48 became the first robot to complete a college class.
