I shared some thoughts with @RachylJones for her @semafor article "Humanizing the machines: Companies design robots to look friendlier" https://t.co/6Z3ux5HLtG

For the love of god, can robotics companies please stop demoing their robots making coffee?

e.g., https://t.co/5AetsJ2pSZ

You have no idea how privileged and detached this looks.

Also: coffee making is not a technologically unsolved problem anyone should be working on.

I told @THR that AI is by definition conservative and therefore can't be truly funny. Why?

All Supervised Learning does, including your ML model-du-jour, is "average" the past to imagine the present, and that's literally what being conservative means.

I am sure we will see the usual performative concern about why there are so few women in computer science. This is why. #WomenInTech

Sad and ironic to see how the organizers of @theofficialacm @FAccTConference (with "Fairness" in its very name) are unwilling to accommodate the schedules of mothers of young children, forcing them to make impossible choices between childcare and career.

Ever wondered why social #robots look the way they do? #design

So happy to announce a new chapter written by Belinda Dunstan and myself.

I've wanted to write about this stuff for a long time, and loved working on it with Belinda during my Sabbatical.

With all of the GPT talk about "the death of writing", can anyone agree with me that we should not care?

תודה לכרמל ווייסמן על אחת השיחות המעניינות שניהלתי לאחרונה על המחקר שלי. אני גם מאד אוהב את הכותרת, ומתכוון לגנוב אותה לכל ההרצאות שלי בנושא!

פרק חדש: ברובוטים האינטראקציה חשובה יותר מהאינטליגנציה. @guyhoffman מביא לרובוטיקה שיעורים מעולמות האנימציה והמשחק, תכנן את שחקן התיאטרון הרובוטי הראשון, רובוט שמאלתר ג'אז בזמן אמת וגם "נהנה" מהמוזיקה, וחקר את ההשפעות הפסיכולוגיות שיש לרובוטים על בני אדם
