This week we\u2019re digging into our archives to bring you a few unaired clips from past interviews. We noticed that when we spoke with roboticists Maja Matari\u0107 and Ayanna Howard (@robotsmarts), they both had a lot to say about the benefits of including diverse perspectives in the design process. Robots, algorithms, and artificial intelligence continue to get more deeply intertwined in our lives, and they can cause real harms to people if they are poorly designed.\xa0
Do you ever wonder how engineers can benefit from diverse design teams?
\xa0Maja Matari\u0107 is a roboticist and a distinguished professor of computer science, neuroscience, and pediatrics at USC. Check out Maja\u2019s original episode about how robots can have personalities.
\xa0Ayanna Howard is a roboticist, professor, and as of a few months ago, she\u2019s now dean of the College of Engineering at the Ohio State University. Listen to Ayanna\u2019s original episode about if robots can be biased.
