@MesolithicMe@SocialistNHS This would seem like an unrealistic idea in 2012, but I can foresee it being normalized in the future. It could be a robot with empathy like the Amelia AI combined with other robotic technology. I see there's already a Moxi hospital nurse robot. Definitely a weird concept though.
@miner49er236 @pmarca I totally get you. It can be intimidating, but for right now it seems that computers are just machines for generating answers and not posing interesting new questions. They're quite useless when posed with issues outside of their programmed frames. #bcTechF22
@mashable Very creepy, but very lifelike! Would this humanoid robot be programed to have its own thoughts or can it only converse sentences it’s programmed to say? #bctechf22
@BedrockDistri I definitely believe there is. Since the iPhone was released in 2007, depression and suicide rates have skyrocketed. Do you think there is a difference in the effects between children and adults in regards to the impact of social media/screen time on them? #bctechf22
@NsePeter5@yabaleftonline I believe it. AI just isn’t 100% reliable atp. It makes mistakes, such as allowing the wrong people to unlock phones with Face ID, playing music when not commanded to (ex: w Amazon Echos), and so on. Hopefully programmers can refine AI technology to prevent these bugs. #bctechf22
@OceanCoalition He figured out how to regrow 100 years worth of coral in under two years with borrowing tissue techniques! I am hoping we can utilize this finding with all of the coral reef restoration projects throughout the world. #bctechf22 (2/2)
@OceanCoalition I completely agree! As the reefs are 25% of the world’s biodiversity which provides 70% of oxygen to the atmosphere, it is crucial that we protect and restore them. If nothing changes, 90% of them will be gone by 2050. Look into Dr. David Vaughn if you haven’t already. (1/2)
@Pontifex It is so sad. Even if all countries abide by their pledges and fulfill their goals to help decline global warming, global warming will still reach ~1.7°C by 2100. To change this & reach the 1.5°C goal, countries must accelerate their transformations significantly ASAP. #bctechf22
@Chris_Skinner , but America still needs to execute the idea correctly in order for it to make a full impact in the shopping and tourism industries. What do you think is the best idea for America to improve their contactless payment system since it clearly isn’t the best it could be? #bctechf22
@Chris_Skinner I could see that. On top of that, these additional steps (pin and/or signatures) make processing these payments much more slow, inconveniencing both the customers and the company. I love the idea of contactless payments, because of how cleanly it is in wake of the pandemic (1/2)
@GamesOlkon Wow 👀. This is so cool. Soon, robots will become a common sight and staff member within many hotels all across the world. They can clean, handle luggage, and even assist security measures. They’re on the route of transforming the entire travel industry! #bctechf22
@ThinkSurgical So cool! I can't believe this much time has passed since then. It is so unfortunate that although 50 million surgeries take place in the US each year, only 5% are done robotically. I hope to see this figure skyrocket, so many can receive its non-invasive benefits. #bctechf22
@Denachtzuster1 Such a cool discovery! It’s crazy how additional studies revealed that GDF11 can also accelerate muscle repair, improve exercise capacity, and amplify brain function. It will be interesting to see how scientist utilize this molecule in future technologies. #bctechf22
@LaurenByersMD CAR-T therapy seems very beneficial and could help save so many lives, but do you know if there are any plans in place to make it more affordable and attainable for patients, so it can actually be put to use? #bctechf22
@apeelsciences Apeels invention is amazing! Not only is it preventing food waste, it’s also preventing all of the trash and traveling the agriculture industry provides. I know this product is used with store avocados already, but what other plant products do you plan to use it on in the future?
@endisch_paul There is none. Although this process is expensive and animal-based (for now), I bet in the future it’ll be cheaper and it will be able to transition to being plant-based. Cultured meat uses 99% less land, 82-96% less water, and produces 78-96% less greenhouse gas. It’s great!
