STUDENT'S ON-THE-JOB TRAINING DAILY REPORT OF ACTIVITIES Name of Trainee: Von Allen Jay P. Dayo Class Schedule: Monday to Friday | 8am—Spm_ Date: Nov. 28 ~ Dac. 2 Company: ALA, Professor: Engr. Edward Ang Rosalind Picard is a professor at MIT, the head of the effective computing Research MIT Media Lab, and the co-founder of two startups, Affective and Pataca soup at the Vith her book of the same name, she founded the area of affective computing aver two decades ago. The objective for the machine ‘to detact and analyze 3 human's emotional state, and then to change the machine's bahavior depending on the human's emotions. Clippy might be in Word 95 or $8. | recall when it was born, but many people do yau find yourself with the reference that people realize what you're talking about even now. Clippy looks at what you were typing and tries to assist you finish it using natural language processing. If someone walks into my office and | shout at them, they start laughing, winking, and dancing, ‘30 that type of mismatch was something the developers just didn't consider, because (as really all about arithmetic, language, chess, and you know gaming elligence at the ‘culties, The Turing test for ‘emotional intelligence is as difficult as | predicted, and I believe my prediction was correct. | believe time ‘estimates are always difficult because they are» function of society's love and hetred of a topic. We need people of different backgrounds to became computer scientists so that computer science may better represent the requirements of society.looks lhe yy writing a letter I don't see the I it's difficult to anticipate the date since it's limitless when no one warks on it, you know. | believe there is a more pressing issue right now than the complexity of it, and this is driving same. of us to step on the brakes a little bit Normally, we're all like, step on the thrattle and go quicker, but this is prompting us ta draw back. | mean, there are certain constraints, you know, when the athlete does this 5 part of a national broadcast, maybe the teams get « little upset about using that platform to do it correctly, but that's more of = judgment call, Here in the United States, and at my first firm, Factiva, we have werked hard to reject money snd opportunities that attempt to read people's minds without their prior informed agreement. Al is nat about general intelligence rather it is about increasing the intellect ‘and capabilities of the haves and have-nots to address societal disparities. | believe that mast of the driving force behind Al is the desire to publish papers to generate money without considering why de you hope it develops naturally is there place for regulation. I'd like to see individuals own their data, Vd like to see individuals control their own data and greater sefeguards agsinst reading people's ‘emotions without their permission. also believe that when we read s motion that is predictive of mental hesith, it should be protected in the same way that our medical data is. | believe we should be more concerned about whe is looking =t us and listening to us through the device sitting on your kitchen tabletop. | don't want ta paint these firms in 2 negative light since there are good people that wish to help people. | was born in the Soviet Union, and | can certainly relate to the concern that you're expressing st the same time, wh is probsbly both you and | and you wery much so you know there's an exciting possibility that you can have a deep connection with machine yeah right.H most of the in people, ‘we have a problem. Hold on a second while I push. Loneliness is » massive problem, and the need for ‘connection is expanding, £0 if you're lonely, your part of a large and growing population, yesh. 4 great iduals designing the Al of the future are the type cf people that di book can help to alleviate loneliness because you get sucked into the story and can't walt to spend time ‘with that charecter. I've had 2 similar experience while reading science fiction books, connacting with ‘characters Ender's Game's Orson Scott Card or the speaker for the dead There are many more possibilities than what is depicted in the film, so there is = conflict here. You voiced 2 significant worry about privacy and haw gavernments may exploit information. Let's lock at ‘Alexa. Se, it's s personal thing. As far 2s 'm aware, they disregard your emotions for the most part. Except fer components of your speech, disregard even the context or existence of you the nuanced gorgeous, complicated espects of who you are. They can also make you feel slightly addicted, causing you to pay more for goods that make you feel better. We want Al to manipulate us inta submission te make us happy. lf you are @ power-hungry sick ‘tyrant who just wants to dominate other people to get your jollies in life, then yes, you want to use Al to: ‘expand your authority to compel others inta submission. if you feel that humanity is better off with freedam and the chance to accomplish things that may surprise you, then you should wote. desire to. create Al that expands human intelligence and helps balance power between the strang and the weak. ‘Wearable technology can read physiological changes in the human bedy and tell us things about your ‘stress, so if you're sitting there with a blank face thinking nobody can read my emotien, your wrang right 150 that's interesting but that's from sort of visual information from the face that's almost like cheating ‘your way just the physiological state of the body by being very clever. We may start to formassumptions about what you could be experiencing over time, and it's not just the instant experience, but also your ‘attitude about things. That could be a little more frightening with certain types of governmental control freak people who want to know if you're on their team or not and getting that information over time. Wearable technology is mare than 8035 accurate in forecasting future levels, but it's not exciting beceuse the wearable equipment with physiological data seems less intrusive than non-contact face- based technologies. | think the things that aren't touching you are the frightening because you don't know: ‘when they're on or off. Right now, I'm free, and I'm making an informed decision akout whether to wear it, When we were monitoring stress, we discovered an unusually large skin conductance pattern an-one ‘wrist in one of our autistic children, which didn't make sense. Since then, we've learnt that seizures create ‘this strange electrical activity, which we can detect with a wristband. You can also have 2 seizure that spans throughout the entire brsin, known 25 2 generalized grand mal seizure. Mest of the time when ‘these individuals are not seizing, they re not seizing, therefore we are currently concentrating on mapping thoze deep brain areas that you can’t even capture with EEG scalp electrodas. This wearable ‘sencar skin canductance can capture the ripples of the complexity of what's going on in aur brain. Stroke is the number one suit, although most people have never heard of it. | hope that everyone, who has heard of SIDS and stroke will now hear about suit up since we believe it is avoidable usually. I'd ‘want to 28 my smart colleagues take a step back and say, you know what are the reslly challenging illnesses that we don't know haw to treat that originate from individuals, he adds. Fram seizures to autism,| believe we should focus on how to make things more affordable and environmentally friendly rether than on thousand-deliar phones. He claims that the cost of your phone has no bearing an your quality of life. Do yau believe we'll ever construct an Al system that we can ‘fall in lave with and that loves us back ‘ona level comparable te human-to-human contact, as in the movie Her, orbeyand. No, | don't believe so. Welre nowhere close constructing something like that, and I wouldn't bet on it. instead, I'd invest on creating Al that helps everyone be better people and enhance their lives. It you're filming a movie, you'll need 3 body that zets like it has awareness. if you've read Ender's Game, you know it could be like a tiny voice in your earring right and you could have an intimate connection and it could come to know you and it doesn't need to be robot, but it doesn't make this 2 fascinating movie, right. She believes that science is one of many methods ta gin information, not the only one, and that there has been some awful philosophy and stupid thinking recently, which she refers to as scientism. There are all the why questions, as you mentioned, and if we're hanest with ourselves, the percentage of what we really knowis basically 2ero. Adams beliavas that if people haven't studied the Bible, they should if they consider themselves educsted, and that you may read proverbs and discover knowledge in there that cannot be scientifically verified, but when you read it, something in you comes alive. 'm not dismissing science rather, I'm continually amazed by what it can accomplish. There is 3 far larger universe aut there te be explored in ways that science may not allow us to do so, at least for the time being. And there's meaning and purpose and hope and joy and love and all these things that make it all worthwhile. | don't think there's a better way to endit right new. Thank you so.much for walking today pleasure great questions,
