“C3P0” “BB8” When someone says, “Artificial Intelligence,” we usually think about ROBOTS! In episode four, RADIO AI Director Cindy Mason, invites us to learn more about the robots we find in our world - from the shopping mall to outer space missions. Robots have many kinds of sensors and some can even fly or go underwater! In this podcast we learn the answers to 3 big questions: 1) What is a robot? 2) How do we interact with it? And 3) Who’s controlling it?
Dr. Mason was on the NASA robotics team that sent the first teleoperated undersea vehicle to Antarctica. She also created a novel kind of astronomy called “Pass the Star” with cooperative robotic telescopes. She once staged a “Robot Fashion Show” to demonstrate the need for Robot WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) so people can trust robots from appearances. She also pioneered the idea of giving robots Artificial Compassion(TM).

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
