Allison Koenecke @allisonkoe in @CornellInfoSci discusses how an #AI-based audio transcription model made up sentences in about 1.4% of transcriptions - with a majority of the hallucinated sentences including potential offensive content. science.org/content/articl… #CornellAI
“Sociality is constructed through interactions people have with each other around the machine. It’s not just about programming a better character for the robot, making it respond better to human social features, making it look cuter or behaving more naturally.” - @whatsmalteupto
People, not design features, make a robot social, an award-winning study from @CornellInfoSci found. “We have to look at the broader scope of the communities around robots and people’s interactions with each other,” said @whatsmalteupto. news.cornell.edu/stories/2024/0…
