The data we collect about ourselves can tell us a lot—but only if the technology collecting it actually fits into our lives. Daniel Epstein explores personal informatics, from fitness trackers and food journals to baby tracking and AI, and explains why abandoning a tracking tool doesn't necessarily mean it failed.

The Lived Informatics Model

How do we design robots and autonomous vehicles that understand the unwritten rules of human behavior? Kyle speaks with Cornell Tech professor Wendy Ju about implicit interaction, "Wizard of Oz" prototyping, and what studying pedestrians, self-driving cars, and even robotic furniture can teach us about designing technology that behaves the way people expect.

In the final episode of our Recommender Systems season, we explore the growing questions of trust, manipulation, privacy, fairness, sustainability, and user control. From fake reviews and shilling attacks to explainable recommendations and user-selected algorithms, we look at what happens when recommender systems must answer not only for what they recommend, but for the consequences of those choices.

<a href="https://twitter.com/_abarbu_" rel="nofollow">Andrei Barbu</a> joins us to discuss <a href= "https://objectnet.dev/" rel="nofollow">ObjectNet</a> - a new kind of vision dataset. In contrast to ImageNet, ObjectNet seeks to provide images that are more representative of the types of images an autonomous machine is likely to encounter in the real world. Collecting a dataset in this way required careful use of Mechanical Turk to get Turkers to provide a corpus of images that removes some of the bias found in ImageNet. <a href="http://0xab.com/" rel= "nofollow">http://0xab.com/</a>
