The lack of face-to-face interaction in virtual environments might place a greater emphasis on social, emotional, cultural, and relational leadership intelligences. This might accelerate the tectonic shifts in leadership prototypes: less masculine and monoculture in leadership mindsets and behaviors.

Recent technological advances are shifting the role of AI from tool to teammate, sparking a surge of interest in human-AI teams. In fact, tech giants now market “AI teammates,” and military agencies sponsor research on human-AI teams. This new form of teamwork raises the question: how can we apply our knowledge of human teams to enhance teamwork with AI?

OTTRS Speaker Series Presents "Robots that Teach"
Sep 20, 2024 12:00 PM EST
Brian Scassellati, Prof Yale University

https://umd.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEufuGorzIrG9FE8eTv-CdzHjNhtPPS-UPx

Socially assistive robotics (SAR) develops robots that assist users through social interaction, not physical contact. These robots aim to provide emotional, cognitive, and social cues to support development, learning, or therapy. This talk explores why physical robots are essential and discusses research in SAR for autism. #robots #autism

Achievement unlocked: finished the semester by successfully rickrolling 1000+ students. My life is now complete

Excerpt from a student email which reads: "I just wanted to send this email to let you know that while I'm stressed out of my mind trying to study for this exam and make sure I understand everything and make sure I don't completely lose my sanity. I was looking at the exam preparation page on canvas and saw the "P.S I leave you with this final thought" and clicked on the link and seeing Never Gonna Give You Up open genuinely sent me into a laughing fit for like 10 minutes."

OTTRS boosted:

I'm very tired* of the assumption that the Web _needs_ advertising in some form to continue to exist as a widely accessible service. I will not accept this false dichotomy of ads _or) paywalls.

1) Everywhere we fucking look we have ads _and_ paywalls. See: media streaming services, the cinema, print newspapers and magazines...

2) Please, I beg you, go involve yourself in some kind of co-operative, collective, mutual aid, community organisation, literally anything that isn't just transaction/exploitation based, and consider that maybe there are other ways to exist.

* tired in the sense of exhausted and weary, and also in the sense of mind-numbingly bored by.

@joelchan86 Vaguely related to effect size communication idea for ESS. Concreteness is generally effective for decision-making.

Excited to share that our paper "Save a Tree or 6 kg of CO2? Understanding Effective Carbon Footprint Interventions for Eco-Friendly Vehicular Choices" won an honorable mention 🏆 at #CHI2023 (Part of my amazing internship at Toyota Research Institute with @ayman , Alex, Nayeli, and Scott!) We explored effective ways to communicate carbon footprint information. Does CO2 emissions in grams/lbs make more sense? Or "🌳 saved" or "⛽ burnt" is more effective at nudging users to make green choices?
