For many of our #robotics partners - today was the first official work day of the New Year!
May 2019 be the BEST #ROBOT & #AI#INNOVATION YEAR EVER!
...company had said it wants to open a "love dolls brothel" in Houston in which people would be able to use its human-like dolls on the premises.
But Houston's city council on Wednesday unanimously approved a change to a city ordinance that regulates sexually-oriented businesses
#TECHNOLOGY#NEWS: #Houston's city council has changed a city ordinance in a move that would essentially stop a so-called #robot brothel from opening.
A Canadian company had said it wants to open a "love dolls brothel" in Houston.
MANY IN #TECHNOLOGY, ESPECIALLY #INNOVATION DESIGN & #ENGINEERING MUST WORK IN THE WORLD OF #ETHICS -
it can not be presumed someone else is thinking about ethical ramifications and safeguards - the data that is coming in tells us that predominately ETHICS is a SCARCE RESOURCE!
Our #technology may identify us - but it doesn't define us!
The #ethics that are utilized when developing #tech will do that!
Be smart - do what's right!
@GenYrobotics1 IS STILL KEEPING THE #FUN IN #ROBOTICS ๐
If you don't #love what your doing - make way for someone else!
(and glad to know that isn't you guys doing the dance! ๐คช lol) https://t.co/EBN8nch0sg
Searching the agenda for the important #ethics conversations at the @Robotics_Summit - somebody help me find them!
(They have to be there somewhere after all we have been doing to advocate!) https://t.co/FGsC518nFi

Wisdom = the right application of all that knowledge you have.
You are smart - you know a lotโผ๏ธ
But those who can use their knowledge wisely are the ones we need to lead!
There are some easy signs that seem to scream out when someone lacks wisdom: do you know what they areโ
Do well at the @Robotics_Summit - plan big things - disruptive #technology! ๐ค
But build #ethics into your plan or go home!
The future is for INNOVATORS who ask "SHOULD WE?" - NOT JUST "CAN WE?" https://t.co/gKSn5vaiuV
When life in THE CLOUD has become living "in the clouds,"; and things seem like your IN A FOG rather than in the clear: it may be time to get away from the project, time to refresh, and reset.
Clear thinking is critical for the important decisions being made!!
#CloudComputing
There are myriads of challenges facing the emergence of #AI today: most of them have NOTHING to do with advancements in the #technology and capabilities! Identifying them seems to be elusive for many. These will eventually be left behind (sometimes behind bars). ๐ฎโโ๏ธ #ETHICS!!
#ETHICS should be part of every step from concept, to design, to manufacturing, to quality control, to marketing, to distribution, to administration. If ethical considerations are not part of the process and DNA of the organization - do not be shocked when held accountable!!!!!!
