Babies treat social robots as sentient beings

http://www.kurzweilai.net/babies-treat-social-robots-as-sentient-beings

A study was done with babies to see how they would relate to them. After a robot was introduced and the robot was included in a simple children's game, the babies then treated the robot in a way similar to how they treat humans. I think this is interesting  because I think it shows how quickly robots could theoretically be integrated in our society. It would only really take one new generation before having robots around would be perfectly normal and accepted.
