Our emotional connections are so important, and so strong, that they can bridge the gap that separates the human heart from the ‘black box’ of artificial intelligence. Such a move is typical of Ishiguro’s world. When Mr Capaldi later requests that Klara be used as part of a ‘reverse engineer’ experiment, Chrissie refuses, because she has come to regard Klara as effectively human. Nor, as it turns out, can she let go of Klara. ![]()
