Would You Want Your Children to Play with This?

Check it out, this toy is alive! Or seems to be. This guy has created robotic Zeno, who is an artificial intelligence robotic version of his 18-month-old son Zeno, who prattles and smiles as he bounds through his father's cramped office. "Robotic Zeno can't speak or walk yet, but has blinking eyes that can track people and a face that captivates with a range of expressions." Just creeps me out, I'm afraid!

This is Steven Spielberg's AI movie come to life. I am not sure I would want something like that around, learning my name and responding me like my own child. But I'll bet there are some of you out there who would enjoy it...what do you think? I think I couldn't sleep at night with my artificial child blinking and waiting for me to wake up! Oooh!
