Social Intelligence and Empathy in Robot Design
By
–
And this is also why I named my lab Robots with Social Intelligence and Empathy (ROSIE)… I think social intelligence by itself doesn't necessarily imply the care and affective empathy we would like to see.

Intelligence without empathy psychopathy in AI systems
By
–
Interesting point. I think it might have to do with intelligence coupled with lack of empathy (psychopathy)

Moravec’s Paradox: Why Robot Demos Bore Humans
By
–
As someone working on robotics in the depths of Moravec's paradox, one issue is that demos of skills that humans find effortless are highly boring

Computer Science Lacks Professional Maturity Like Medicine or Law
By
–
Computer science is not a mature profession like medicine, law, engineering or accounting. The latter have accreditation, certifications, licensing, codes of ethics, professional societies, etc. The field underlying AI is different from the field underlying pharma

AI Image Captioning Tool for Emotional Salient Features Analysis
By
–
We also offer a captioning method to convert images into sentences describing emotionally salient features related to face, body, pose, human interactions, activity and environment. Social scientists might be interested in our manual annotation interface

Multimodal AI Shows Promise for Emotion Recognition Beyond Zero-Shot Methods
By
–
Overall, these zero shot methods do not perform nearly as well humans nor models tuned on the training data from EMOTIC (Emotions in Context). But there appears to be promise in linking vision with language to account for both affective and cognitive empathy
