Robots to be used in UK care homes to help reduce loneliness
▻https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/sep/07/robots-used-uk-care-homes-help-reduce-loneliness

Machines can hold simple conversations and have been found to improve mental health Robots that can hold simple conversations and learn people’s interests are to be deployed in some UK care homes after an international trial found they boosted mental health and reduced loneliness. The wheeled robots, called “Pepper”, move independently and gesture with robotic arms and hands and are designed to be “culturally competent”, which means that after some initial programming they learn about the (...)

Facebook is training robot assistants to hear as well as see

The company’s AI lab is pushing the boundaries of its virtual simulation platform to train AI agents to carry out tasks like “Get my ringing phone.” In June 2019, Facebook’s AI lab, FAIR, released AI Habitat, a new simulation platform for training AI agents. It allowed agents to explore various realistic virtual environments, like a furnished apartment or cubicle-filled office. The AI could then be ported into a robot, which would gain the smarts to navigate through the real world without (...)

And unlike Siri, they’ll be able to understand the speaker’s ‘intent’ War robots today take just too much darn time to control. I know it, you know it, and the U.S. Army knows it. That’s why its research branch is cooking up a system that would allow soldiers to give orders to small robotic cars by speaking naturally, as opposed to using specific commands. The robots would be able to understand the soldiers’ intent and complete the given task, according to an Army press release. The system (...)

Forces of Production : A Social History of Industrial Automation | David F. Noble
▻https://b-ok.cc/book/2484619/bfba54

In Forces of Production : A Social History of Industrial Automation (1984) Noble recounts the history of machine tool automation in the United States. He argues that CNC (computerized numerical control) machines were introduced both to increase efficiency and to discipline unions which were stronger in the USA in the period immediately following World War II. Forces of Production argues that management wanted to take the programming of machine tools, which as “machines for making machines” (...)

Workers may be more affected by robots taking their bosses’ jobs than their own Generally speaking, the four economic sectors in the U.S. that rely most heavily on human labor are, in order of most people employed : retail, fast food, health care, and clerical office work. These are jobs that involve interacting — often intimately — with other people. To eliminate these jobs, companies couldn’t just replace humans’ role in production with machines, as they might on an assembly line. It would (...)

Over the past two years, thousands of tech company employees have taken a stand : they do not want their labor and technical expertise to be used for projects with the military or law enforcement agencies. Knowledge of such contracts, however, hasn’t been easy for tech workers to come by. On Wednesday, (...)

New Laws of Robotics — Frank Pasquale

AI is poised to disrupt our work and our lives. We can harness these technologies rather than fall captive to them—but only through wise regulation. Too many CEOs tell a simple story about the future of work : if a machine can do what you do, your job will be automated. They envision everyone from doctors to soldiers rendered superfluous by ever-more-powerful artificial intelligence. They offer stark alternatives : make robots or be replaced by them. Another story is possible. In virtually (...)

But recent strikes and protests by Amazon’s very human workers have exposed how far we are from robotic warehouses. In fact, as part of its effort to keep its warehouses fully staffed during the crisis, Amazon recently announced that it is ending its recently-instituted sick leave and base pay expansions, replacing both with increased overtime pay.

SINGAPORE : Far from barking its orders, a robot dog at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park politely asks joggers and cyclists to stay apart and keep to safe distancing measures. “Let’s keep Singapore healthy,” the yellow and black robodog named SPOT said in English as it roamed around. “For your own safety and for those around you, please stand at least one metre apart. Thank you,” it added, in a softly-spoken female voice. It is part of two-week pilot trial that started on Friday (May 8), conducted (...)

Abstract This paper analyses Hello Barbie as a commercial artefact to explore how big data practices are reshaping the enterprise of marketing. The doll uses voice recognition software to ‘listen’ to the child and ‘talk back’ by algorithmically selecting a response from 8000 predetermined lines of dialogue. As such, it is a useful example of how marketers use customer relationship management systems that rely on sophisticated data collection and analysis techniques to create a relationship (...)
