AbstractRobotics and Artificial Intelligence entail many opportunities for humanity: From improving medical diagnoses to enabling greater autonom y for the elderly, from cleaning the house to optimizing energy efficiency. In the public discourse, however, smart technologies are customarily repre sented by the stereotypical image of the android, the artificial replicatio n of the human being. Based on psychological findings, Mara argues that a h uman-centered approach towards technological development must foster new vi sions of complementary human-machine relationships instead of fueling fears of substitution. Furthermore, as many outside the expert circles still lac k information about technical functions and feel uncomfortable with technol ogy they don’t understand, there is a need for user empowerment: By explain ing basic technological concepts to the public and by designing machines th at are explainable themselves.
