Robotic Chef Masters Recipe Recreation by Watching Food Videos
Unite.ai, 06/10/23. Cambridge University has unveiled a robot chef that can learn and replicate recipes by watching cooking videos. The robot’s ability to understand and mimic human actions in the culinary world is based on a complex network of algorithms that merge computer vision, machine learning, and robotics. The development’s implications are vast, going beyond the culinary world to redefine the use of AI in industries such as healthcare, construction, and space exploration. This breakthrough brings us closer to a future of learning robots that can adapt and perform complex tasks by learning from human behavior. READ THE ARTICLE

The A.I. Revolution Will Change Work. Nobody Agrees How.
The New York Times, 06/10/23. Predictions about how much work artificial intelligence (A.I.) could take over are dependent on assumptions made by researchers. Studies that calculate how much of human labor could be replaced by A.I. fail to consider how the technology will change the value of various skills. A.I. is likely to automate tasks rather than replace entire occupations, and in many cases, it will enhance human abilities. Predictions of A.I. taking over jobs should serve as a wake-up call to steer towards a better direction, said Daron Acemoglu, a professor at M.I.T. READ THE ARTICLE

How I learned to relax and love the AI-pocalypse
Reno Gazette Journal, 06/10/23. In his opinion column, Thomas L. Knapp discusses the inevitable rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the dangers it may pose to humanity. He argues against government regulation of AI, citing the futility of trying to stop its development and comparing it to the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Instead, Knapp suggests focusing efforts on building a better future for humanity. He remains optimistic about the possibilities presented by AI, envisioning a world where robots handle menial work and economic scarcity is a thing of the past. READ THE ARTICLE

What AI threat? Most U.S. white-collar workers welcome the technology, survey finds.
Morningstar, 06/10/23. According to a recent survey conducted by KPMG, most U.S. professionals don’t consider generative artificial intelligence (AI) to be an immediate threat to their jobs but instead want to learn how to use the technology. A majority of workers are embracing AI as a potential helper that can cut out mundane tasks. The survey found that 57% of workers don’t consider generative AI a threat to their jobs, and only 19% are “highly concerned” the technology will make their role “irrelevant.” However, 40% believe they have more than a year before AI endangers their job, and 42% rate their companies as doing a good or excellent job at providing AI training.

AI-powered robots are giving eyelash extensions. It’s cheaper and quicker.
The Washington Post, 06/10/23. Luum, a beauty studio in Oakland, California, is using AI-enabled robots to apply eyelash extensions. The technology offers a quicker and cheaper service than human artists, costing just $90 for a 50-minute appointment compared to $150 every two weeks. Named Farrah, Jacklyn and Kate, the robots feature computer vision, allowing them to isolate natural eyelashes and lay extensions into place precisely. While industry experts have raised concerns over job losses, companies behind the technology have said that human eyelash artists still play an important role in the process. READ THE ARTICLE
