Fei Fei Li

I 1992 reiste 16 år gammel Fei-Fei Li fra Kina til New Jersey sammen med sin mor. Fei-Fei var interessert i intelligens, og spesielt hvordan det er mulig å måle intelligens. I 2012 arrangerte hun en internasjonal konkurranse som skulle måle algoritmene. En algoritme dominerte. Fei-Fei trodde ikke sine egne resultater, så hun kjørte resultatene en gang til. De var fremdeles like gode, så hun kjørte de en tredje gang. Først da begynte hun å tro på resultatene. Algoritmen tilhørte Geoffrey Hinton

Come along with Dr. Angelica Lim and Best of the WWEST host Danniele on a windy journey through Angelica's discovery of computing science and her passion for robots! Angelica talks about her studies taking her all over the globe and how she settled in at Simon Fraser University. You'll also find out how robots can connect people in a "human-like and grounded way."   Angelica is an Assistant Professor of Professional Practice in Computing Science at Simon Fraser University, who has studied and worked in robotics for over 10 years in Canada, France and Japan. She has been featured on the BBC, given talks at SXSW and TEDx, hosted a TV documentary on robotics, and was recently featured in Forbes 20 Leading Women in AI.

Episode 29: Angelica Lim, PhD, A.I. Roboticist

Jenny Brusk

Jenny Brusk didn't know what she was letting herself in for when she enrolled in a university Masters course in computing in 1990. She went on to become Sweden's first female games developer but she was often mistaken for the company receptionist. The experience made her stronger. She says, "rather than go hide somewhere in the office I would fill my space". Jenny is now researching how game characters can be made more psychologically realistic by using natural speech, gossip and lies. She is also the founder of DONNA, an organisation which aims to attract more women into the games industry.Roboticist Angelica Lim is a self-professed 'geek' who programmes robots to have more 'human' traits, like compassion and empathy. She has lived, baked biscuits and made music with a robot, all in the name of research. The goal is creating the perfect companion robot which might provide help and therapy to the elderly or provide assistance at home to anyone. At some points when she was sharing her home with the robot, Angelica found herself questioning the relationship asking, "is it my servant or is it my kid?"(Photo (L): Jenny Brusk, credit: Torbjörn Svensson.
