• Emotions
• Like anger, fear, happiness, surprise and sadness
• Can be Positive, Negative
• Seems to be in contrast with wisdom
• Are survival To escape
• Are different from Reactive reactions
• Associates with Learning

• McCarthy
• To ascribe certain beliefs, knowledge, free
  will, intentions, consciousness, abilities, or
  wants to a machine or computer program is
  legitimate when such an ascription expresses the
  same information about the machine that it
  expresses about a person
• there would be no problem if emotions are not
  exploited in robots.
• Minsky
• The question is not whether intelligent machines
  can have any emotions, but whether machines can
  be intelligent without emotions
• LeDoux
• Minds without emotions are not minds at all

• Balkenius and Moren model
• two level learning
• Stimulus to emotional signal reinforcer
• Stimulus to response
• Thalamus
• Processing the incoming stimulus
• Amigdala
• Responsible for emotional processing
• interconnections with higher sensory cortical
  areas, smell and taste, and the basal ganglia
• Orbitofrontal
• inhibit inappropriate responses from the
  amygdala, based on the context given by the
  hippocampus
