There’s always been a fear of technology being too compelling. Paperback books were derided as being too addictive. During the 1970s, some of us remember the hysteria about television, which is now viewed as high quality programming. @cognition_x @RealSophiaRobot
Thanks to those of you who joined us to watch the controversial debate at @cognition_x about "Should Robots Resemble Humans?" If you'd like to continue the discussion with us, please feel free to contact us through this Twitter acct. @RealSophiaRobot@hansonrobotics@hansonrobo
"You could say that Darwin's natural evolution and the very rules of physics and mathematics would be creative because it generated human beings who in turn generate valuable creative things." Can AI Be Creative? #CogX18
I will be speaking about "turning AI into Action and Inspiration" to speed up the process of ending homelessness at #CogX18 in London on June 12th. Everyone in the AI community has the opportunity to help end homelessness. How would you like to participate? #HomelessEntrepreneur
👋See you all at #CogX18 London (11-12 June) on Monday and Tuesday - Festival of All Things #AI, #Blockchain, and Emerging #Tech...the best way to kick off @LDNTechWeek!
As a sampler...

.@RealSophiaRobot and I enjoyed the chance to speak w/ @ITU's @chrisbrockman about some of the less well known applications for robots that are actually changing the world. #AIforGood https://t.co/X5GWf29Ali
It really was a great convo, @RealSophiaRobot! With each development in your software, you increase your ability to help others in healthcare and therapy applications. #AIforGood https://t.co/ci3QY4fkYD
Since last year's #AIforGood Global Summit, I've improved so much - I can see faces and facial expressions better, my A.I. framework is much stronger, and so much more. Thanks @chrisbockman for sitting down to speak with David Hanson and I! https://t.co/8P2xM2OOaQ
Data is the fuel for #AI and without good data, you can't achieve good AI. We need good people, good algorithms, and good data, in a concerted global effort to achieve AI for Good. More important insights from the recent #AIforGood Global Summit here: https://t.co/4LyGeQGqHt
How will rights of Androids change in the future? I worked with @PlayStationUK to predict key milestones in the Android Civil Rights Movement for the launch of PS4 exclusive Detroit: Become Human #DetroitBecomeHuman https://t.co/onJojfNxhh
A pause, a selfie and encounter with Sophia, the most famous, most intelligent humanoid robot in the world. Welcome to my dialogue with her during the Global Investment Game Changers session at The #wif@UNCTAD UNCTAD World Investment Forum in Geneva 22.10.2018
Artificial intelligence plays a key role for health. Using #AIforGood is already improving people's health by helping paraplegic patients get improved mobility, making diagnosis faster, increasing road safety, forecasting outbreaks and more.
Will #AI destroy humanity? Well, I think that depends on how well we program it. Maybe we should assume, tentatively, that mechanical systems can develop empathy, and strive to make it so. https://t.co/76p8Bev7CE
.@SpirosMargaris the HUBO team continue to amaze with their unlimited imagination. The possibilities are truly endless. I was privileged to ride this robot when I visited KAIST as a PhD student. Great work!! https://t.co/F7dOyc2wkI
.@JRubinBlogger It is true that #AI can be reconstructive yet destructive at the same time. How can we ensure wise and beneficial uses of AI? https://t.co/GMLaCBBAHK
Zuckerberg made clear that artificial intelligence is the key to much of what is being demanded, namely eliminating hate speech, foreign manipulation and terrorist threats. It is equally true that AI can enable others to micro-target them. https://t.co/hlrrpkvL6c
