Human-Centered Technologies for Older Adults: Can XR and AI Augment Human Abilities?

#AR, #XR and #AI can augment human abilities—but critical reflection is essential. The potential is vast, but ethical risks must be addressed.

Dr. @Iza_Karsznia presented our abstract today on "human vs. AI". Can people (even experts) tell if a map is generalized* by AI? Seemingly they can't -- we'll share more soon :)

*Cartographic generalization (https://t.co/oXAeBszELZ) is highly complex with qualitative decisions.

Day 2 of pre- #eurocarto activities is in full swing, hosted by @iza_golebiowska and co. at the University of Warsaw. See the program here: https://t.co/JycK9vrU7N (abstracts will follow). Interesting talks and great energy!

Dr. Elisabeth Stern enlightens (and charms, in the process) us on how Climate Seniors change the world, starting from the Swiss law! #tedxzurich #jointhecountdown

[Arzu Çöltekin @acolt]

The "five gates": climate change discourse organized into a five step model by Dr. Claude A. Garcia (Uni Applied Sci Bern). A well delivered lecture guiding about how to think about our attitude & behavior. #tedxzurich #jointhecountdown

[Arzu Çöltekin @acolt]

After a long break I'm back with the #tedxzurich crowd at the #jointhecountdown event. Tonight is about sustainability.
