Researchers are attempting to teach robots to laugh for improving human robo interaction. In the researchers’ shared-laughter model, a human laugh first, and the AI system responds with empathetic laughter. The researchers began by annotating speed-dating dialogues to collect training data. University of Kyoto researchers are attempting to teach a robot to laugh. The researchers created a method for developing a “sense of humor” for the Japanese android Erica, which is described in a research paper published in Frontiers in Robotics and AI. Robots cannot detect or even laugh at…

A new study released by the Bengaluru-based think tank Center for Study of Science, Technology, and Policy (CSTEP) lays the groundwork for incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into India’s climate change mitigation and adaptation initiatives. The study looked at AI’s potential to boost climate action in India, with a focus on transportation and water management. According to the study, the use of AI in the transportation sector has the potential to significantly reduce GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions and, as a result, can be useful in mitigating the effects of climate change….
