Justine Bateman told Fox News Digital the increased use of artificial intelligence makes her sad because she feels it takes away from genuine human connection. Some experts have raised concerns that artificial intelligence (AI) could have its own gender gap if more women aren't involved in its development and dataset analysis. "It's not just AI, but I would say engineering as a whole," Dr. Georgianna Shea, chief technologist at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies' Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation (CCTI), told Fox News Digital. "Whenever there's any type of engineering process for anything, you don't want to end up with bias-based engineers." Adding to the debate, Melinda French Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, recently said in an interview that she was concerned there was a lack of women working in the field of artificial intelligence, which she said made her nervous about potential biases in platforms.

The deal will make a range of Windward services available to MFA members. Bunker supplier industry group the Marine Fuels Alliance has signed a new deal with maritime AI firm Windward offering its services to the organisation's members. The partnership will see Windward providing educational sessions to MFA members and offering a bespoke package of AI-powered solutions, the MFA said in an emailed statement on Wednesday. Windward's services use machine learning and behavioural analytics models to help companies optimise business practices and navigate maritime risks in real time. "Upon launching the MFA in Oct 2021, we knew that the issue of sanctions was one of the biggest challenges facing bunker supply companies," Anthony Mollet, executive officer of the MFA, said in the statement.

The world population is ageing, and on average we are living longer. A person aged 65 years in 2015-2020 on average will live up to 82 years. By 2045-2050, this figure is expected to reach 84 years, an additional 2 years. Digital tools and services can play critical roles in and enabling healthy and active ageing by promoting independence, enabling social participation and ensuring healthcare access. In 2017, the global technology market for older adults' care was worth $5.6 billion and it is estimated to reach $13.6 billion by 2022 - a huge market opportunity to create products and services to support the increased life expectancy and empower older adults.

When digital transformation is done right, it's like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, but when done wrong, all you have is a really fast caterpillar.

Currently at this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct the question-and-answer session and instructions will follow at that time. Also, as a reminder, this conference call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to your host to Richard Morin. Thank you, and good evening, everyone. Earlier today, we issued a news release announcing Cognex's earnings for the first quarter of 2016, and we've also filed our quarterly report on Form 10-Q. For those of you who have not yet seen these materials, both are available on our website at www.cognex.com. They contain highly detailed information about our financial results. During tonight's call, we may use a non-GAAP financial measure, if we believe it is useful to investors, or if we believe it will help investors better understand our results or business trends. For your reference, you can see a reconciliation of certain items from GAAP to non-GAAP in Exhibit 2 of the earnings release. I'd like to emphasize that any forward-looking statements we made in the earnings release or any that we may make during this call are based upon information that we believe to be true as of today. Things often change and actual results may differ materially from those projected or anticipated. You should refer to the company's SEC filings, including our most recent Form 10-K, for a detailed list of these risk factors. Now, I'll turn the call over to Cognex's Chairman, Dr. Bob Shillman.
