INSIGHT: Ada Lovelace to Ai-Da: Femme bots address the United Nations on gender  ♀️ 🤖

AI's out to get us, or so the popular myth goes. It's like a digital wild west out there, and the robots are the new outlaws.

Enter the United Nations, stepping onto the grand stage with their AI for Good conference in Geneva.

With an intriguing array of AI on display, it is the largest gathering of humanoid robots in human history - more electric than a crypto rally.

Held in July, this event wasn't just a tech showcase; it was a mission to rebrand AI. Forget the rogue robots; this was about AI as the new heroes, ready to tackle global problems at scale.

But why were most of the robot creations on display at the event female?

Although many of the robots were modelled on their makers, some fingers point towards the shadows of gender bias and stereotypes, others ask us to recognise the absence of female representation in art and technology.

Either way, there’s an innate preference in humans for the female form and voice.

Why the preference for female voices in robots?

Karl MacDorman, a robotics guru from the University of Indiana, dug into this voice-choice phenomenon. His research? Women favor women's voices, while men are chill with either.

It's more than a design choice; it's a reflection of our innate preferences. So next time a robot speaks in a female voice, just remember, it's the universe's way of saying, "Let the ladies rock the mic!" 🎤🤖

🥡 Three fast takeaways from the conference:

• Championing you and me: Ever wonder why robots are taking on female forms?
  
  It's not just a digital fashion statement. The tech wizards behind these creations are sculpting female robotic personas like Ai-Da, a living homage to Ada Lovelace.
  
  Think of it as amplifying voices that often get lost in the digital noise. It's more electric than a crypto rally, and it's all about making connections that resonate.
  

• Voice notes - preference matters: Dive into the research, and you'll discover something as intriguing as a hidden level in a video game.
  
  People, no matter their gender, prefer female voices in AI. It's like choosing the soundtrack to your digital journey, and designers are tuning in to your preferences.
  

• Unraveling the hidden biases: Now, here's where it gets as complex as a Sam Bankman-Fried court case. Experts warn that biases in design might be influencing you subconsciously.
  
  They're hidden, guided by corporate motives more mysterious than a viral meme. 🤖 It's a digital dance, and you're part of it. Welcome to the future Well Wired peeps! 🤖

What lies ahead?

The AI for Good conference may be over, but don't think for a moment that the United Nations and its tech-savvy peeps are hanging up their virtual coats. They're just getting started, and it's more exciting than a mechanical bull run.

Ready to dive deeper? They're plunging into the digital rabbit hole to unravel gender biases in AI design.

Expect debates as animated as a cartoon character, focusing on the need for diversity in AI teams and a balanced representation in the very DNA of humanoid robots.

But hold onto your panties, because the conversation's heating up. The moral dilemmas of robot objectification (yes, that's a thing) might ignite debates hotter than a trending hashtag.

From regulating AI in your personal space to navigating the waves of AI-driven relationships, the future's as dynamic as a tech startup's growth chart. 📈

So buckle up, my friend, because the world of AI and robotics isn't just about codes and algorithms anymore. It's a dance of ethics, inclusivity, and the ever-evolving relationship between humans and AI.

It's a future you're part of, and it's as intriguing as the next big tech innovation.

In the meantime…

The AI ethics debate is a dance you’ll want to keep a track of... 💃🤖 Robots objectifying? Now that's a trending hashtag waiting to happen!

Smart socks: a tech-savvy idea to defeat dementia in the elderly 🧦🧠

Ever thought your socks could be more than just foot warmers? Welcome to the world of smart socks, where your feet walk you towards better health.

Imagine this: A sock, not just any sock, but one jam-packed with sensors and AI wizardry, all geared up to lend a helping hand (or foot) to those battling dementia.

It's like having a tech-savvy best friend at your toes, ready to detect issues and prevent nasty falls.

Our friends over at the UK DRI Care Research and Technology Centre at Imperial College London are the masterminds behind this innovation.

They're cooking up some 'smart' magic to help folks with dementia live comfortably in their own homes for as long as they can. It's not just about technology; it's about empowerment, care, and a sprinkle of futuristic flair.

Here's what's afoot:

Health insights from feet: These aren't your grandma's socks! Equipped with sensors, they're on the lookout for changes in foot temperature, giving early warnings of health issues like diabetes and circulatory problems.

Continuous monitoring: Real-time data, real-time care. These socks talk to healthcare professionals, intervening early to prevent complications.

Personalised care: Your feet, your health plan. Smart socks help doctors tailor treatments and lifestyle advice, boosting your overall well-being.

A new era in healthcare: Say goodbye to reactive healthcare; embrace the proactive approach. Early detection through wearable tech like smart socks can elevate your quality of life.

Ready to rock the sock world? 🚀

Whether you’re wearing toe-tally amazing smart socks or donning other wearables to optimise your health, here's how to step into this health space like a boss:

Explore wearable options: From smart socks to fitness trackers, find what fits your health goals and budget.

Set up regular monitoring: When you don a wearable, they are only as good as the data they give you. Make a habit of checking the data to spot trends or anomalies and then adjust your lifestyle to match.

Consult healthcare professionals: Share your footnotes with your doctor, and co-create strategies together to optimise your health.

The ultimate personal development prompt is here…

Here is the quintessential blueprint to forge a unique personal development journey for any facet of your life. It's a canvas that invites endless creativity and like a Chinese cookbook, you can fine-tune the recipe until it’s perfect.

I’ve even included an example of an idea I’ve had brewing in my brain for years. After this awesome prompt, it's not only a plan; it's a full-blown reality.

My idea? It’s a wellness centre that’s a cross between a Zen garden and a gym. I like to think of it as a spa with the soul of a unicorn – pure magic, baby! 🦄💆‍♂️

ChatGPT prompt

Help me create a personal development plan tailored to my [current_skills], [goals], and [available_time] Please consider any [personal_constraints] and my preferences for [learning_resources]. Also, provide guidance on [support_networks] and [accountability_methods] to ensure my success in achieving personal growth.

Example ChatGPT prompt

“Help me create a personal development plan tailored to my [ current skills in nutrition and wellness coaching ], [ with the goal of opening my own wellness centre ]. [ I only have 10 hours a week.] 

Please consider any personal constraints [ like limited financial resources and my preferences for learning resources such as seminars and workshops.] 

Also, provide guidance on support networks [ like industry-specific networking groups and accountability methods such as partnering with a like-minded entrepreneur ] to ensure my success in achieving personal growth."

ChatGPT’s response

Here’s what monsieur AI responded with - hmmm interesting!

This is a great start to our love affair, but I think I might break this down a little further to see what scrumptious ideas ChatGPT comes up with.

Key points

• You’ll notice ChatGPT calls me Sir Cedric. I was going to ask the AI to call me Snuffalufagus, but I thought I’d be more knightly! 😉 
  
  How? There’s a new feature that’s now available in the paid version. Just go to settings in ChatGPT and click on custom instructions and voila, you’ll see the screen below.
  
  Just follow the prompts!

• Remember, for now our old buddy Mr GPT, only has access to data till 2021, so you may want more current info.
  
  To do this, enter the above personal development prompt into BingAI, which has live internet access. This will give you more up-to date data.
