Dr. Kate Darling is a Research Scientist at the MIT Media Lab, an ‘anti-disciplinary’ institute that works across technology, media, science, art, and design. Kate has had to work hard to be recognized as an expert in the field of human-robot interaction and now challenges herself to pass on power and opportunity to others whenever she can.Kate began her journey in law school, where she found herself fascinated by the ethical and legal implications of human-robot interaction. She now dedicates her life to exploring this field through a multidisciplinary lens. Kate uses her platform to not only speak, write and educate but to also advocate for others. She manifests this allyship through challenging uninclusive work practices and by putting others forward for speaking engagements who might not normally get the chance. As she puts it, she likes to be the “squeaky wheel” demanding change.Kate is also the author of The New Breed: What Our History with Animals Reveals about Our Future with Robots.Join us every episode with hosts Suchi Srinivasan & Corin Lines from BCG to hear meaningful conversations with women in digital, technology, and business.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy
