103. Elizabeth Jochum: Dancing with robots (IN ENGLISH)
Dr Elizabeth Jochum is Associate Professor at the Department of Communication and Psychology at Aalborg University in Denmark. She also conducts research at the Research Laboratory for Art and Technology, where she looks at the integration of robotics in the arts sector, mainly dance and choreography. Having worked extensively with robotics over the past decade, Dr Jochum is increasingly skeptical of media's sometimes simplified description of robotics and AI, and how the future will play out with regards to these fields. The robots are not "coming to take our jobs", but if we can learn how to collaborate better with them, there are immense opportunities for our society. We met Elizabeth at the Gather 2019 conference in Stockholm. Podcast host: Christian von Essen // Learn more at: http://www.hejaframtiden.se
