The Rise of Personal Robots | Cynthia Breazeal | TED Talks
http://www.ted.com As a grad student, Cynthia Breazeal wondered why we were using robots on Mars, but not in our living rooms. The key, she realized: training robots to interact with people. Now she dreams up and builds robots that teach, learn -- and play. Watch for amazing demo footage of a new kids' game.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.

AI Literacy for All with Prof. Cynthia Breazeal (S3:E7)
When humans interact, they don’t just pass information from one to the other; there’s always some relational element, with the participants responding to each other’s emotional cues. Professor Cynthia Breazeal, MIT’s new Dean of Digital Learning, believes it’s possible to design this element into human-computer interactions as well. She foresees a day when AI won’t merely perform practical tasks for us, but also will provide us with companionship, emotional comfort, and even mental health support. But a future of closer human-AI collaborative relationships doesn’t only require technological development—it also requires us to learn what AI is capable of and how to interact with it in a more informed way. To further this goal, Professor Breazeal leads the Responsible AI for Social Empowermen...

Mass STEM Week 2020 Keynote: Prof. Cynthia Breazeal on Teaching Ethical Use of AI
Prof. Cynthia Breazeal, Associate Director of the MIT Media Lab and founder of its Personal Robots Group, delivers the keynote address at the kickoff event for Massachusetts STEM Week 2020. The event also featured remarks from MIT President L. Rafael Reif and was co-hosted by MIT’s Office of Community and Government Relations K-12 Outreach Administrator Rohan Kundargi.
Breazeal’s talk, “Preparing the Creative, Empathetic and Ethical AI Designers of Tomorrow,” speaks to a brave new era in the use of artificial intelligence, one in which children are being raised alongside robots and AI technology, often without consideration of the impact their interactions with AI will have on their own lives and the lives of others.

Dr. Cynthia Breazeal is founder and CEO of Jibo, Inc. She is also an Associate Professor at the MIT Media Lab where she directs the Personal Robots Group.

Her research spans both the creation of intelligent and socially responsive robots, as well as studying their impact on contributing to people’s quality of life across education & learning, creativity, health, telecommunications, aging, entertainment, play, and more. Jibo, Inc. brings the technologies, design insights, and user experience of social robots to the home as the world’s first family robot. As an open platform, Jibo enables 3rd party developers to bring the engagement and emotional lift of social robots to their apps and services.
The ability of autonomous robots to interact and work effectively with people is increasingly important: from improving worker productivity with robot teammates, to enhancing people’s quality of life with personal robots. Social robots interact with people in an interpersonal way to support the socio-affective dimension of human experience. This, in turn, impacts human behavior, attitudes and performance in intriguing ways. Such findings encourage us to think quite differently about robots, beyond performing physical tasks, to empowering us on a deeper human level: to learn better, to stay healthier, to care for and connect with one another with greater engagement, and more. The benefits of social robots could be transformative in areas of significant societal need that demand critical innovation. Nonetheless, this also motivates a thoughtful dialog about the desired role of intelligent, emotive technology in our lives, our relationship with it, and possible consequences.

About SXSW:
Started in 1987, South by Southwest (SXSW) is a set of film, interactive, and music festivals and conferences that take place early each year in mid-March in Austin, Texas. SXSW’s original goal was to create an event that would act as a tool for creative people and the companies they work with to develop their careers, to bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas. That continues to be the goal today whether it is music, film or interactive technologies.

To further this goal, Professor Breazeal leads the Responsible AI for Social Empowerment and Education (RAISE) initiative at MIT, which runs an annual “Day of AI” program to promote better understanding of AI in the next generation of technology users and developers. In this episode, she describes those projects as well as her work developing the groundbreaking social robots Kismet and Jibo, prototypes of what she calls “warm tech”—AI-enabled devices designed to be engaging, expressive, and personal.
