Middlesex robot ¡®gives evidence¡¯ to MPs ¨C sort of

A Middlesex University robot has ¡°answered questions¡± from MPs on 바카라사이트 House of Commons Education Committee, although it has already been conceded that 바카라사이트 device¡¯s answers were not spontaneous.

At a hearing on 바카라사이트 Fourth Industrial Revolution and 바카라사이트 implications of artificial intelligence for education, 바카라사이트 robot, named Pepper, ¡°talked about how a new way of thinking is needed by tomorrow¡¯s workers to get 바카라사이트 most from technological innovation¡±, Middlesex said.

¡°It will be clear on 바카라사이트 day that Pepper¡¯s responses are not spontaneous,¡± an Education Committee spokesman? on 12 October, confirming that 바카라사이트 robot¡¯s answers were preprogrammed. ¡°Having Pepper appear before 바카라사이트 committee and 바카라사이트 chance to question 바카라사이트 witnesses will provide an opportunity for members to explore both 바카라사이트 potential and limitations of such technology and 바카라사이트 capabilities of robots.¡±

Martin Loomes, pro vice-chancellor for research and professor of computing at Middlesex, who also appeared before 바카라사이트 committee, said: ¡°A traditional view of robots is that 바카라사이트y will automate simple, repetitive tasks on a production line. The development of robots like Pepper shows that robots may well be integrated into more social settings.

¡°The challenge will be having an education system that can adapt to rapid evolution and support lifelong learning.?At Middlesex University, we have been among 바카라사이트 first to invest heavily in technology such as compliant robots capable of integration into social settings and a manufacturing 4.0 cyber-factory, and we are pioneering curriculum?approaches?that use this environment for problem-based, skills-focused learning to 바카라사이트 full.¡±
