Scientists, roboticists, researchers weigh in on Westworld

On the whole, the world loves TV sci-fi series Westworld.

It's about killer robots in the wild west, features warped old-timey renditions of Radiohead songs, and Christopher Nolan's brother Jonathan co-created it. What's not to love?

Westworld also explores one of the biggest topics in tech: AI. Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) is an android in the Westworld theme park who enacts a handful of storylines everyday before workers hit reset and she forgets. Until one day she doesn't. What ensues is a sometimes Blade Runner philosophical, Django Unchained blood fest.

Unlike the rest of the world, though, scientists, roboticists and researchers have a degree-backed understanding of the tech served up in the show. So, assuming important people have time to watch TV, I asked them what they thought of Westworld.

It was a little worrisome to read that one of the experts was confused by the first episode... :-S
