Can you AI-dentify the term? 🤔🤖

Embodied AI comprises AI systems that can interact with the real world through a physical body, such as robots and autonomous vehicles. 🚗

While embodied AI can improve productivity, it may also face physical hardware limitations and unpredictable real-world environments.

This is why human oversight, robust safety measures, and testing and regulatory frameworks remain essential in deploying AI safely and responsibly. 💡

Can AI be used to test for empathy? 💻 💜

Social service agency Loving Heart worked with Singapore Institute of Technology to design an online test powered by AI and virtual reality, which assesses how well volunteers can spot safety hazards and engage with seniors, while identifying training needs.

About 50 candidates have taken this test since it was introduced in January as part of SIT’s Centralised Skills Assessment and Validation Initiative (CSAVI).

Under CSAVI, a joint effort with SkillsFuture SG to develop a national standard for testing professional skills, skills assessments are being developed for the hospitality and technology sectors as well.

By harnessing AI and immersive technologies, such initiatives support skills-based hiring, while empowering individuals to take charge of their learning. 💡

Discover how AI and VR tools from SIT are revolutionising worker skill assessment and addressing gaps in Singapore. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

🧐 AI is not always objective, because it learns from data that may contain real-world biases.

That means AI’s output could unintentionally mirror the same patterns found in society.

Be mindful of AI’s biases and always maintain human oversight when using AI. ⚖️
