ca-4449	White, Daniel; Katsuno, Hirofumi	Toward an Affective Sense of Life: Artificial Intelligence, Animacy, and Amusement at a Robot Pet Memorial Service in Japan	2021		.htm	text/html	10883	512	48	We suggest this sense of life can be observed as an emic principle of robot design and applied as an etic description of how robot users sense robot animacy through a mode of relating that privileges feeling. Accordingly, while robot users may not always see new forms of artificial life as eliciting or deserving love, affection, or memorialization, we ultimately propose that understanding how artificial agents are designed to seek out intimacy through technosocial means requires in part the operationalization of affect to probe how the pleasures of amusement interlock emerging markets in entertainment robots with new research agendas in artificial intelligence.	cache/ca-4449.htm	txt/ca-4449.txt
