A robot friend illuminates our shared solitude
In The Guardian, novelist Kazuo Ishiguro and director Taika Waititi reflect on Klara and the Sun, a story about a robot companion, love, grief, and loneliness. Ishiguro argues that some part of every person remains fundamentally alone, especially before death. Although AI developers have called the book an ethical touchstone, he cautions that it explores human experience and is not a guide to AI ethics.
