    New UT program puts focus on ethical AI, building robots to do 'helpful tasks' - KXAN

    AUSTIN (KXAN) — How does society approach the ethical use of artificial intelligence and building robots?

    It’s a question students at the University of Texas at Austin will soon have to take a deeper look into.

    Called CREATE (Convergent, Responsible, and Ethical AI Training Experience for Roboticists), it will offer graduate coursework and professional development in responsible design and implementation

    A Conversation with Dr. Nicholas Paine and Jeff Cardenas of Apptronik

     

    The two 35-year-olds, who cofounded Apptronik and serve as its Chief Executive and Chief Strategy Officer respectively, didn’t get into the field of robotics to tinker around the edges. In fact, Nicholas told Jeff early on that his greatest fear was Apptronik becoming “a robot vacuum cleaner company.” These native Texans are thinking a lot bigger than an improved Roomba: We’re talking humanoid robots, Iron Man suits, and other innovations that have the potential to transform how humans live.
