"We had this guy and his robot in to give a presentation on some of the issues in consciousness and AI. It lasted about an hour, but it seemed much shorter because it was very engaging. It is hard to describe, it's a play, it's an essay, it's quite interesting thought piece. It is accessible to audiences that are interested in AI and know what the acronym means. If you get a chance to see it, you are likely to like it.

It was very thoughtful and thought provoking. If you want an after dinner speech or have some venue related to cognitive science, you should consider having him and Judy down, or, if we are to believe his presentation, now Judy and him.... We will be considering having them back to a larger auditorium."
