Robotics and artificial intelligence
Robotics and artificial intelligence are an integral part of our daily lives. This combination assists us in almost every task. From studies to entertainment, technology makes everything easier and more efficient.
The modern day standard of living is on a constant surge because of AI and robots. Furthermore, they also help industries in cost-cutting as well as HR management.
However, there are many people doubting the credibility of artificial intelligence and robots. Despite their robustness and efficiency, they lack the ‘trust’ factor. How legitimate are their claims? Shall we really trust technology and AI?
Major Drawback of AI : Robotics and artificial intelligence
Studies show that AI robots are developing a gender and racial bias in terms of computer vision. For instance, AI models automatically suggest the gender of a person after analysing the background. This means if AI detects a kitchen, then the model suggests that the person is a woman.
Furthermore, autocorrect suggestions also have a gender bias. It automatically associates the objects in a sentence to a particular gender.
Even though this is very subtle, it raises serious concern towards artificial intelligence and robotics. Tech gurus claim that uncontrolled AI might lead to a repressive future dominance. However, we can’t just drop them out of our lives. This is due to the fact that they make our lives way much easier.
How Can We Overcome This?
It is very clear that abandoning AI robots would be foolish. Instead of taking such an extreme measure, we can simply resolve this issue. Since output of an AI model depends on training data, we can tweak it. That means, we can preprocess the data by making it gender neutral as well as equalising other features.
Furthermore, another way to deal with this bias is to neutralize it. Instead of giving it the features which can lead to a bias, we can simply remove them. Obviously, it is impossible in every case, but we can do some wherever it is necessary.
Additionally, robotics and artificial intelligence algorithms can also be tweaked accordingly. In this way, they’ll focus on other important features instead of race/gender. We must remember that unlike humans, AI robots are emotionless. We can modify and control them in their nascent stages.
Why Should We Trust AI?
Ayanna Howard explains this query in a brilliant way. We are very well aware of the fact that robotics and artificial intelligence don’t operate on emotions. They can’t sense danger and hence, are useful in lethal situations. For instance, in case of a fire, we can deploy AI robots to extinguish it from dangerous spots.
Furthermore, artificial intelligence and robots can also guide us while we’re in a panic mindset. They don’t lose rationality and hence, are very useful in stressful/fatigue situations. We need to trust AI robots in such moments. There are no cons of AI unless they’re trained on malicious data.
Our Take
Robotics and artificial intelligence have a positive potential for growth. If trained properly, AI robots can be a lot more efficient than humans. Furthermore in dangerous situations, we must trust AI if we are sure that the model relies on legitimate data without any biases.
To save human lives from unforeseen circumstances, we need to take a leap of faith. Therefore, we need to build the robots we can trust.

I am participating in a live, online cloud training course. The course is really well-constructed, and the quality of content and delivery is super high. The teachers are great and we all appreciate it!!! It is as simple as that.


The organization clearly has great client relationships, and a facility for working with subject matter experts that is second to none.


The Starweaver approach to training delivery with hands on comp cases, teamwork and highly interactive challenging classes provides me the right tools to get measurable results.


👍👍👍👍👍 The Azure certification course is helping me to have a solid understanding of how the platform works. Thanks to the team for demonstrating you really care about us.


I am participating in one of the many courses offered by Starweaver: “Python for Data Science & Machine Learning”, and I am so excited about it! Clear and simple explantions. Great instructor.


I have only positive things to say about Starweaver courses. The programme I completed was delivered by several excellent instructors with solid content and lots of interaction with the entire class.


I took the Azure certification course and working with Starweaver was a 5-Star experience! The labs pushed me with hands on work. Instructors provided real-life elements and real-life scenarios. Highly recommended.


Great cloud course on Azure run by super capable instructors live online. The Comp Case was a great exercise we had to work on in virtual teams over weeks. I can easily say this was a great course.


Starweaver’s program management and curriculum design team very clearly and consistently lays-out road maps around likely pain points. Excellent to work with.


We have had a great experience working with Starweaver including on multiple live and online programs across a wide spectrum from core to advanced subjects and audiences. Perfect results.


A big HUG!!! You guys gave me something to really be passionate about. The machine learning course was powerful and gave me a real sense of how to apply Tensorflow, Keras and other tools on the job.


I cannot stress how amazing this Azure bootcamp was for me and my colleagues. The project and team assignments were excellent.


I have worked in the machine learning field for many years and I am very impressed by the quality of ML and AI training that the Starweaver team team delivers. The entire team is just great.


I completed an excellent and hands on training course in Azure. The team driven Comp Case required a lot of work but also had us applying everything we learned week after week. The course was the best!


Starweaver and I have collaborated on cybersecurity training initiatives for the past three years. The work together is excellent and interesting. Their training management is exceptional.
