Dr. Cindy Mason

 “Hey SIRI!”, “Alexa…” These and other "Software agents" or  "bots" are everywhere now - on our phones, in our cars, in our homes and they are partnering with us to get things done.   We owe it to ourselves to know more about them.  Join us in Episode 3  with RADIO AI host, Cindy Mason,  as we explore the inside world of an  AI technology called "software agents".    Dr. Mason has an in-depth background in building software agents and answers questions like:  (1) What is a software agent?  (2) What do software agents do?  and (3) How do we Interact with it?   She also talks about the exciting new area of  cooperating agents.     She will also tell us about a special software agent  called SEA, designed to help scientists and U.N. treaty verification specialists sift through humongous mountains of data to ensure countries adhere to international treaties regulating nuclear tests. 

Dr. Mason has worked on software agents and cooperative software agents at Lawrence Livermore Lab, NASA Ames, and UC Berkeley.   She created cooperating agent systems for global sensor networks, cooperative robotic telescopes, and designed an Emotion Oriented Programming language to build agents (and robots) with Artificial Compassion(TM).
