Now this is downright creepy! Articloe about a doll which can read, tell time, and do sums, and, effectively, react in a limited way to the world around "her". Shades of AI!
I have often been tempted to say that if it looks like a human, and talks like a human, and walks like a human....
This is bringing us far too close to the point where we can't tell [the other driving technology here is medical prosthetics] which twin has the AI. Such developments raise a whole host of questions resonating with the maddening hum of killer bees -- and it is time we started trying to sketch out an answer.
