When Henny Admoni tells people she's a roboticist who primarily studies humans, she gets strange looks. "It might seem a little weird," Admoni says, "but the goal of my research is to understand how to make robots good for people." Admoni leads the Human and Robot Partners Lab at Carnegie Mellon University, where, along with a team of researchers, she studies the ways robots and AI can improve people's lives. The lab has worked on robotic arms that assist people in eating food and preparing meals; they've observed robots that encourage artists to think outside the box, and they've looked at how robots can help search and rescue teams collaborate more effectively. With a library of published papers, awards, and international speaking engagements under her belt, one might think that, for Admoni, robotics has been a lifelong passion.

Fox News host gives his take Zelenskyy's latest idea and provides insight on the biolabs in Ukraine on'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' This is a rush transcript from "Tucker Carlson Tonight," March 14, 2022. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. Here is something we just saw. I wish we brought it to you earlier. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine, of course, gave an interview recently that didn't get enough attention in this country. Zelenskyy needless to say, is currently engaged in a desperate fight for his country, his government, his life, and he has been since the Russian military invaded Ukraine nearly three weeks ago. So you can assume there is not a lot Zelenskyy thinks about at this point, apart from getting the Russians off of Ukrainian soil. So last week, Zelenskyy floated the idea of accepting so-called Ukrainian neutrality, agreeing not to join NATO; in exchange for that, he will get a Russian withdrawal from Ukraine. Now, there is nothing inherently controversial about Zelenskyy's idea. Ukraine was not on the cusp of joining NATO, anyway. NATO officials have long said they don't want Ukraine to join. It is not clear whose interest would be served by Ukraine joining NATO. So if accepting the status quo, going with the way things already were and were always going to be, if doing that convinces Putin to stop killing Ukrainians, and spares Ukraine from total and complete destruction, maybe it's not a crazy idea, maybe Zelenskyy is onto something, he certainly thought about it a lot. Maybe we ought to congratulate Zelenskyy for acting wisely on behalf of the country he leads. This could be a win for him and for the entire world. Probably not a lot of American media outlets will describe it that way; however.

'The Five' weighs in on Russia asking China for military and economic aid during the Russia-Ukraine war. This is a rush transcript from "The Five," March 14, 2022. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. It's five o'clock in New York City, and this is THE FIVE. Brand-new drone footage showing the devastation in Mariupol where Russia is ramping up more reckless attacks shelling residential buildings injuring and killing civilians. For more let's go to Trey Yingst in Kyiv, Ukraine. We are learning more about the Russian advance on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Each hour they are shelling the outskirts of the city, they are also hitting it from the air using fighter jets. It's part of the reason we've seen so much air defense in the Ukrainian arsenal here trying to shoot those planes out of the sky, but you can see from this video when a Russian shell does get through it can cause immense damage. At least two people were killed at this first location this morning when a shell slammed into an apartment building. A Russian missile hit the sidewalk earlier today killing at least one person and injuring a handful more. The scenes of devastation that we've seen across this country now starting to take place in the Ukrainian capital. In the southern city of Mariupol this drone footage shows black smoke rising up from the horizon and it shows the level of devastation in residential areas. Analysts are warning that President Putin of Russia maybe planning to surround this city, and yet you can see similar damage taking place here, but again, there are civilians all around this area and it makes it extremely difficult to find safety as Russian forces attacked from the air and ground. The city is bracing for what could be a very bloody days ahead. JESSICA TARLOV, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Thank you. WATTERS: I'm sure you have a lot to say about what you've been seeing on television over the last couple of weeks. This is definitely a heavy news day to come back. I'm very thankful to be here with you guys, you've done an amazing job covering the story. What I was struck by from at least today's news was that now Putin is 12, 13 miles from the NATO border. And there can be something intentional or unintentional that suddenly something happened in Poland or another NATO country, and then, what, we haven't really.

Former US Ambassador to the OSCE discusses Russia's efforts to draw China into war with Ukraine on'Your World.' This is a rush transcript from "Your World," March 14, 2022. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. NEIL CAVUTO, FOX NEWS ANCHOR: All right, thank you, Martha. We are on top of the same developments you have been following right now, a little too close for comfort. That's the big story, as Russian airstrikes get very, very close to the Polish border. Try a little more than six miles, all of this as we're getting a dispute from the Russians, that they have never called on China for military or economic help. But there are some signs that is not quite the case, and the message we have for China, if it entertains doing just that, and all of this as President Zelenskyy is prepared to address Congress, albeit virtually, on Wednesday. We have got you covered, including a big, big drop in oil today. But that did not allay concerns that inflation is still a big problem. We will get into that in just a second. We are learning today more about the Russian advance on this city, both from the air and from the ground. We have heard the air raid sirens going off today in the Ukrainian capital, and that shelling getting closer and closer. You can see in this video this morning one of those Russian shells hit an apartment building, killing at least two people and injuring nearly a dozen others, the destruction quite widespread as firefighters rushed into the building trying to look for survivors. And a public bus was nearby. Thankfully, it was empty at the time, but it really shows you what the Russians are doing to Ukrainian towns and cities across this country. In the southern city of Mariupol, this drone video showing the pure devastation that Russian forces are inflicting on the civilian population there, indiscriminate firing on civilian areas and this Black smoke rising up across the horizon.

Failing to include a diverse group of people when developing A.I. has serious risks, and leaders of tech companies can play an outsize role in solving the issue. Angle Bush, the founder of Black Women in A.I, which provides Black women in tech with mentorship and educational programs, recently explained the severity of the situation during an interview with NPR. In the segment, Bush pointed to a case where a 43-year-old Black man in Detroit was wrongfully arrested on a shoplifting charge in 2020 because of inaccurate facial recognition software.

If you want to support my writing, where I depend on community support, you can do so with so by going here. If there was a legitimate AI for Good story for artificial intelligence in the 2020s, it would be healthcare. A male dominated Venture Capital sector has skewed the impact of A.I. up until now to a profit-centric degree. Given that's the kind of world we live in, I'm always looking for more uplifting stories around the emergence of AI. Recently an MIT researcher who survived breast cancer devised a technique that seems to predict many breast cancer cases (WP paywalled).

Former Attorney General William Barr criticized the media for pushing the "lie" that former President Trump's campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election. Former Attorney General Bill Barr warned that China is the "biggest threat" facing the United States, warning that Beijing has a "highly aggressive plan" to take control of "key" technologies of the future. During an interview with Fox News Digital about his new memoir, "One Damn Thing After Another," in which he details long-term national security challenges facing the U.S., Barr warned the Chinese will continue to be "a huge challenge" for the U.S. "China is the biggest threat that the country faces, not only militarily – because they are building a very capable military -- but also technologically," Barr said, noting that the United States has been "the world's technological leader and people are accustomed to that." Barr told Fox News the Biden administration, in its efforts to combat the threat China poses, should "focus on the fact that it has been that leadership that makes us so prosperous and creates all the opportunity for future generations and provides for our security." "The Chinese have a comprehensive, highly aggressive plan to take control of all of the key technologies of the future, such as 5G communications, robotics, artificial intelligence – all of the technologies that are going to be pivotal in the years to come," Barr said.

I remember beginning my first online course in machine learning and realising that I already knew most of it. I'm going to preface this article by saying that I'm a trained and journal published econometrician -- I'm biased. Do you know who is also biased? Joshua Angrist -- a 2021 Nobel Prize winner whose video I discovered saying the same thing while researching for this video. If you're reading this, I'm assuming you have some interest in data science- there's a lot you can learn from Econometrics, so buckle up and listen in.

Over four years ago, Sophia the humanoid robot told Khaleej Times in an interview that she wants to start a family. And yesterday, she revealed that she has a'family' now. The humanoid robot, who received Saudi citizenship, answered questions put up by audit professionals during the three-day 20th Annual Regional Audit Conference held at Dubai World Trade Centre from March 7 to 9. During the interaction, she also responded to public questions about whether robots will take over jobs of the humans and how artificial intelligence and robotics can help audit professionals. How was your Emirates flight to Dubai?

In October 2021, Cynthia Rudin was announced as the winner of the AAAI Squirrel AI award. This award recognizes positive impacts of artificial intelligence to protect, enhance, and improve human life in meaningful ways. Cynthia was formally presented with the prize during an award ceremony at the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, following which she delivered an invited talk. Cynthia began her talk, and set the scene for her research in interpretable AI, with the story of a project she carried out in New York City, where the goal was to maintain the power grid using machine learning. Some parts of the grid infrastructure in the city are as old as 140 years, and this inevitably leads to failures in parts of the system.
