*Trigger warning* this episode we recognise includes some harmful prejudices that people with disability face and this can be upsetting for some listeners.

In this episode we are joined by Tess Buckley whose primary interests include studying the intersection of AI and disability rights, AI governance and corporate digital responsibility, amplifying marginalised voices in data through AI literacy training (HumansforAI), and computational creativity in music AI systems (personal project).  Our conversation covers topics across ableism in biotechnology and society as a whole and how disability is represented in datasets. We are hooping this episode opens more dialogue as often people with disabilities are not included in conversations around bias.

Could sex robots enhance our intimacy in relationships? 

This week we are back with an incredible guest Kate Devlin who shares her super interesting research into sex robots and our relationship with technology. 

Bio:

Kate Devlin is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Digital Humanities at King's College London. Having begun her career as an archaeologist before moving into computer science, Kate's research is in the fields of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), investigating how people interact with and react to technology in order to understand how emerging and future technologies will affect us and the society in which we live.

Kate has become a driving force in the field of intimacy and technology, running the UK's first sex tech hackathon in 2016. In short, she has become the face of sex robots – quite literally in the case of one mis-captioned tabloid photograph. Her 2018 book, Turned On: Science, Sex and Robots, was praised for its writing and wit.
