📢 New Episode Alert!

This week, I chatted to Dr. Gisela Reyes-Cruz (@agiselarc) from @UniofNottingham about how humans interact with, trust and accept #robots.

Listen now: https://t.co/RiyDhaOAH3 #Robotics #HRI

[Gisela Reyes-Cruz @agiselarc]

Oh it's me! 😇Go listen to this episode of @RobotTalkPod 🤖👀 I had a very nice conversation with Claire about the Human Robot Interaction work I've been doing as part of @tas_hub @MakerCobot

[Robot Talk @RobotTalkPod]

Gisela Reyes-Cruz (@agiselarc) is a Transitional Assistant Professor at @UniofNottingham, researching everyday life interactions with computers and #robotic systems, as well as trust in them and public acceptance.

✨@Hornsey_HQ closed out the Counter Culture public lecture series yesterday @LakesideArts with a fascinating sold out talk about the rise of chain stores in the UK. Afterward, we headed to the exhibition to watch the gallery robots in action! 🚀🤖 #CounterCulture #Boots175

[Gisela Reyes-Cruz @agiselarc]

Take a robot-guided tour (15 min approx.) at the Counter Culture exhibition!

I truly had a great time last weekend talking about trust, robots, and AI for @SoapboxScience Nottingham 🥰

Thank you @HelenaIGomes and team for organising this event!

[Dr Z Al-Ahmady @ZahraaAhmady]

Great science talks earlier today @SoapboxScience Nottingham event. Well done for all participants and many thanks for the volunteers for making this event very successful. @ntu_research @UoNPressOffice @NTUBIOSCIENCES @NTUSportScience @NTUSciTech @UONEngTechs

Now at https://t.co/NhsfazJmol, Mophat Okinyi asks, why are the data workers so poor as Sama, the data labeling company that boasted about "positively impacting" their lives, kept on getting so rich 🤔 ?

[Gisela Reyes-Cruz @agiselarc]

This project is a MUST for anyone using, working with, and/or investigating AI. We must learn and listen to the stories behind tools like ChatGPT. There is no AI without data, and the data workers behind AI deserve respect and ethical, human, treatment. https://t.co/Ka4HTch4jz

@5tuartreeves Ahhhh getting a bit of FOMO. Halfway to the Future is by far the best conference I've ever been to! 🩷💫

A new study has shown that people modify their behaviour to accommodate autonomous delivery robots, and it is this invisible ‘human work’ that allows robots to run smoothly on the streets @UoNComputerSci @HorizonDER

@michael_muller Yes, yes! "...opposing machinery that advantages few while harming many—not machinery, period."

I visited the Nottingham Castle Museum last year, and they had a hall dedicated to the Luddites. I was struck by the connection and relevancy to modern days!

[Michael Muller (he/him) @michaelmuller.bsky.social @michael_muller]

“I very much identify as a Luddite,” [Veena] Dubal said. “This doesn’t mean I am against technology. It means I am against dispossession.”
