Zero Data Sharing Policy
- no personal data leaves the system
- all data is processed on a local level

Principle of Privacy by Design integrated in the development of the system

What main legal problems or tensions arise in development and use of our Machine?

# data[].attributes.body
- Privacy issues: Detecting lot of personal traits and emotions.
- Technology dependent: skill atrophy: users gradually losing their capability to perform act of kindness independently

# data[].attributes.body
- Motivation to benefit others: identify the "actors" / "stakeholders" contributing on the technology. How can it benefit all of them
- Personalities of kindness: different person have different personalities, type of kindness can be different between each persons. this might have conflicting with privacy
- Sociality of kindness: is hugging kind? hugging between child and parent can be kind, but for complete stranger it will be rude. Social context need to be established.

As a supporter to normalise the lives of people with special needs

# data[].attributes.body
Can we design a machine which can be a supporter to day-to-day lives of people with special needs which will allow them to spend a more normal life style?
Eg:
- Machine which helps to understand the emotions/behaviours of others for visually impaired people
- Normalise the behaviours of kids with special needs (Eg: Autism)
- Imaginary friend to lonely people
- Life supporter for disabled people

How can we prevent a system hack?
If we are unable to prevent how can we repair the damage with minimal adverse effects?

# data[].attributes.body
Is it possible for some other human to hack the love machine of someone else and,
-  manipulate his/her emotions
-  threaten his/her privacy?
-  blackmail him/her?

How can we monitor it to make sure the machine stays in *human control*?

Is there a way to shutdown/fully terminate the emotions related processes in the love machine?

If it is possible for machines to love, then robot ethics must be taken into consideration.

It's kind of lying to the user

Will it ever be possible for machines to love?

Cons:

Love requires intentionality that machines don't have and can't have (?) (Machines are tools and therefore have no own ends, their ends are external)

The human understanding of love is tied to certain practices that require active participation and embeddedness in human culture and embodiment ("Leiblichkeit", s. Husserl)

# data[].attributes.body
The "machine" is loved and has itself the potential/means to love.

Can we use "Love machine" to train people with mental disorders?
Eg:
- People with Asperger's syndrome and Anthropophobia to be people-friendly using a "love machine"
- As a counsellor for people with mental disorders who do not wish to share their condition with human-counsellor

# data[].attributes.body
People with Asperger's syndrome (a form of Autism),  Anthropophobia (fear of people), Depression, Anxiety
