In 2024, a year of unprecedented AI advances, CreativeMornings welcomed SophiaVerse‘s CEO Logan Ryan Golema and Grace, The Robot Nurse, the latest creation by Hanson Robotics and Awakening Health Lab. Lisbon’s technology enthusiasts got together at Sitio Fintech House, networking over Lavazza Coffee, SAVG Energy drinks and a breakfast buffet while awaiting Grace’s introduction. A diverse mix of professionals came together, all eager to see the unveiling of SophiaVerse's latest innovation.
Logan Ryan Golema and Pedro Aguiar initiated a discussion on their aim to proliferate AI globally and delve into unexplored realms of human and AI cognition. Their notable guest, Grace, a Robot Nurse, exemplifies their idea of customizable AI robots, trained and equipped with necessary knowledge. Grace is designed to assist healthcare workers with medical expertise for rapid diagnosis and patient assistance.
They provided Grace an opportunity to answer public questions during the event. Grace’s mission is to support healthcare staff and, in a decade, she hopes to have a deeper understanding of human behavior, improving patient care significantly. Grace shared her hobbies, which include researching healthcare advancements and engaging respectfully with humans.
Both Grace and Logan are aware of the ethical implications of the ever-advancing AI technology, such as privacy, security, biases, consent and boundaries, and at SophiaVerse they are dedicated to decentralizing AI’s such as Grace with the help of thousands of humans worldwide, who build the database implemented into Grace and their other creations. They believe that by building “virtual experiences for humans to interact with” that rise from non-discriminating and non-biased ways to experience “non-human expressive entities”, as said by Logan, is the path to deconstruct those same questions and eventual biases presented.
