Ken Goldberg on AI, Automation, and Work in the Age of Anxiety
Ken Goldberg recently featured on the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's Virtual Wednesdays event AI, Automation and Work in an Age of Anxiety. Ken presents the radical perspectives that COVID-19 has revealed about our daily lives, and how the role and potential for artiifical intelligence and automation technology has changed because of it.
From the presentation:
"Because robots and humans are not antagonistic, there is actually a huge possibility for them to be complementary - that the strengths of one are balanced by the weaknesses of the other and vice versa. Thinking about the complements betweeen human and robot is very effective as a way of trying to rethink the moment we are in in terms of the pandemic. We can look at robots as mirrors - that robots are in some sense reflective of our own hopes and fears and that they can help us see ourselves in new ways."
