    Google Glass helps kids with autism read facial expressions

    The Autism Glass Project from Stanford Medicine’s Wall Lab has developed a system using machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate facial expression recognition.

    The new form of behavioral therapy uses a Stanford-designed app paired with Google Glass to help children with autism distinguish between eight classical facial expressions indicating happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, surprise, fear, contempt or neutral.

    Friend In The Machine: Will Artificial Intelligence ever be a substitute for a human companion?

    Produced in association with Arm, this short and thoughtful film looks at the role robots powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be set to play in our lives: from becoming our friends and keeping us company; to helping children with autism communicate; or assisting a rapidly ageing population. Jem Davies, Fellow and General Manager for Machine Learning at Arm, joins other experts from industry and academia to offer their perspective on the future possibilities for companion robots and AI.
