It's two weeks until the competition, and 17-year-old Ella Maier is ecstatic her robot can finally do a pull-up. "Oh, that's so exciting," the Girls of Steel member said, as her robot latched on to a bar at the team's practice facility and hoisted itself to the second rung. "I'm in charge of that subsystem, and I'm really pleased it works. There's always a fear that it might not perform. There are no guarantees on this stuff, ever."

As of Tuesday, the United Nations said it believed 2 million people have fled Ukraine since Russia's invasion began. As a result, a number of Ukrainian esports players and other game industry workers have had to rapidly recalibrate their lives, while friends and colleagues outside of Ukraine have offered whatever aid they can. People working in the gaming sector are an increasingly large community in Ukraine. According to ValuesValue, a consulting company focused on game development in Ukraine, before the Russian invasion, the country was home to more than 30,000 employees in the gaming industry who worked for studios such as Ubisoft and Wargaming. Ukraine is also home to some of the world's top esports athletes in titles such as "CS:GO" and "Dota 2."

"From far away," he says, cracking a small grin. "I will cheer them both on from far, far away." The so-called AI Yoon--as in Artificial Intelligence Yoon--sounds, looks and gestures much like the real-life, conservative politician who is in a close race for South Korea's presidential election on Wednesday--although with much more mischievous humor. A sharp-tongued former prosecutor, the 61-year-old Mr. Yoon is new to politics and wanted an efficient way to reach out to the electorate. He needed to pursue young voters and sought a softer public image, and had just roughly three weeks to officially campaign by law.

On March 8, International Women's Day (IWD) we celebrate the political, socioeconomic and cultural achievements of women and the women right's movement towards gender equality. "Whilst the social and political rights of women are greater in some places than others, there is no country where gender equality has been achieved" says Mary Evans, professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science in her book "The persistence of gender inequality" (Polity Press 2017). In 2022 this situation has not changed either globally or at the European level as indicated in the EU Gender Equality index for 2020 where the average of the EU is 67.4% and the maximum is Sweden with 83.8%. Although there has been a clear commitment from the European Union on gender equality (specially in innovation and science), there are still structural forms of inequality that must be challenged and changed. It is not the aim of this article to analyse or comment on those, but to show what is being done and is available, especially in the European Union, for us to contribute as individuals and as a community towards gender equality in the field of robotics.

Four Carnegie Mellon University researchers in the School of Computer Science recently received Faculty Early Career Development Program awards from the National Science Foundation. The nearly $2.5 million will further research in deep learning, the safety of robots and autonomous systems, software engineering, and machine learning for healthcare. The NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program, commonly known as CAREER awards, is the foundation's most prestigious for young faculty members. Changliu Liu, an assistant professor in the Robotics Institute, was awarded nearly $745,000 for research to improve the safety of autonomous systems operating closely with humans. The work will develop a new algorithmic framework to assure the safety of robotic systems that optimizes performance when safety can be managed, anticipates and compensates for inevitable failures when it cannot, and learns from past mistakes.

German automobile automakers have invested billions of dollars in developing and testing autonomous vehicles. The German government is also developing a legal framework to allow autonomous driving in specific settings, says KPMG. A close second is The Netherlands and China with the United States and Sweden fighting for 3rd place.

Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to be one of the most transformative technologies of our time. It has already proven it can reliably complete complex tasks almost instantaneously, eliminating the need for days or even weeks of human input in many cases. The challenge for companies developing this advanced technology is building a business model that can deliver it efficiently since AI is a brand-new industry with little existing precedent. That's what makes C3.ai ( AI 1.65%) a trailblazer, as it's the first platform AI provider helping companies in almost any industry access the technology's benefits. C3.ai just reported its fiscal 2022 third-quarter earnings result, and it revealed continued growth across key metrics, further cementing the case for owning its stock for the long run.

The average business receives 10,000 alerts every day from the various software tools it uses to monitor for intruders, malware, and other threats. Cybersecurity staff often find themselves inundated with data they need to sort through to manage their cyber defenses. Cyberattacks are increasing and affect thousands of organizations and millions of people in the U.S. alone. These challenges underscore the need for better ways to stem the tide of cyber-breaches. Artificial intelligence is particularly well suited to finding patterns in huge amounts of data.
