Human-Robot Presscon at AI Summit: What It Means to the IP World | Asia IP Magazine
Chris Rourk was featured in Asia IP Magazine discussing the robotics capabilities on display at the UN-organized “AI for Good” summit. In the article, Chris noted: “The functions did not showcase any particular capabilities that robotics adds to AI that might support UN SDGs, which include ‘no poverty’ and ‘gender equality.’ As such, if the purpose of the press conference was to showcase how the combination of robotics and AI could support the goals, there was nothing shown of any relevance.”
