Much of the AI you hear about these days is about large language models trained to look for commonalities and best next guesses. This causes a lot of fear around how AI will be abused - Will the bots take over? Are the inputs unbiased and accurate? Will my teenager cheat on his school essay? But we can take a more thoughtful and opportunistic view of AI, specifically in areas where we can teach AI empathy. Yes, I said teach AI empathy. My guest today, Dr. Michelle Zhou, and I discuss how cognitive AI is different from large learning model AI, how these systems learn empathy, and how they empower both companies and individuals without the resources for expensive solutions. We discuss why empathy is actually even more necessary, not less, in the age of AI. And most importantly, we chat about why everyone needs to get involved in AI - why we need to "democratize it", as Dr. Zhou states, in order to be more inclusive and learn how to respond to a variety of needs and people. Dr. Zhou reveals why she believes basic customer service chatbots are one of the worst uses of AI out there!To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.com Key Takeaways:AI currently looks for commonalities in people and data, as it learns to be more empathetic, we need to teach it how to recognize differences, not just those similarities. The more we all interact with AI, the more that AI is going to be smarter about understanding individual differences.There is a time and place for canned responses by a ChatBot, but often people will respond better if there is a specific response to their unique questions and needs. "In order for AI to be inclusive, then we need more people to be there. If there are more people participating, then you have more diversity. The more involvement from a human side, the more inclusive AI can be." — Dr. Michelle Zhou About Michelle Zhou, Co-Founder & CEO, Juji Inc.Dr. Michelle Zhou is a Co-Founder and CEO of Juji, Inc., an Artificial Intelligence (AI) company located in Silicon Valley, specializing in building cognitive conversational AI technologies and solutions that enable the creation and adoption of empathic and empathetic AI agents.

Vi er efterhånden ganske store fans af belastning under stræk for at opnå hypertrofi i vores muskolade-byggerier (oversat til: dat dere stretch gains - oversat til: Hypertrofi er godt). Det kan altså noget. Men kan udstrækning i sig selv noget? Kan du blive helt Jujimufu af kun at Juji'e og ikke mufu'e? Vi har fundet en ny ven i Konstantin Warneke fra Østrig, der i den grad er dykket ned i det emne. I denne episode af STÆRKT AKAVET får i en grundig gennemgang af tre Warneke et al. studier, der kigger nærmere på effekten af udstrækning på muskelhypertrofi (og andre relaterede målbare effekter). Studie 1: Warneke et al. (2022): Using Daily Stretching to Counteract Performance Decreases as a Result of Reduced Physical Activity — A Controlled Trial Studie 2: Warneke et al.

AI usability and adoption continues to rapidly accelerate in 2023, but it is important to understand the risks to your business from mis-using AI and best practices for evaluating the right AI tools for the right jobs.Dave, Sjoukje & Rob talk with Michelle Zhou, Founder and CEO of Juji, about her history and take on the progression of AI over the last 20 years, why democratisation of AI is both increases the safety and precision of AI, as well as likely driving the right and best human experiences. Also, how do you nurture your AI?!Finally, in this weeks Trend, we deep dive on democratised AI by looking at no code AI.TLDR:01:00 Intros02:26 Cloud conversation with Michelle Zhou32:18 No-Code AI41:54 AI Conference!
Today's guest is Michelle Zhou, Co-Founder and CEO at Juji, Inc. Michelle joins Seth Earley and Chris Featherstone and dives into what proprietary data is and how it can be used correctly. Michelle also discusses the one lesson she has learned is that you have to build a product that can help people. You want to achieve your customers' outcomes, not your outcomes. Be sure to listen in on Michelle giving her advice on how to pick out the golden nuggets in AI data to show a coherent and meaningful summary!Takeaways:When Michelle first started with computer science, she wasn't fond of it until she attended Michigan State University where two professors changed her perspective on computers. They gave her the opportunity to work on building graphical user interfaces for power management and worked on projects that dealt with AI data storytelling.Michelle explains that the AI data storyteller gives a set of data and tasks of the user which then gives the user visual preferences. It also consists of a series of animated data visualization.During Michelle's first 15 years of research, she was working on understanding users in a task context. For example, what their tasks are, what they're looking for, what their visual preferences are, and what their verbal preferences were.Michelle has noticed a lot of students will strive for a degree that their family has done in the past. Michelle says that you don't always have to follow any degree you don't want. There are so many unique degrees to pick from.Michelle believes that transparency drives responsibility and since they have a powerful AI system, she wants to make sure that they use their AI in a responsible way.The one lesson Michelle has learned is that you really have to build a product that can help people. Make sure to achieve your customers' outcomes and not yours. You don't want to waste their time.Quote of the Show:“I want to really democratize the use of this cutting-edge technology.” (23:41)Links:TwitterLinkedInWebsiteWays to Tune In:Website Apple PodcastSpotifyiHeart RadioStitcherAmazon MusicBuzzsproutThanks to our sponsors: Marketing AI Institute CMSWire Earley Information Science AI Powered Enterprise Book

The wait was definitely worth it. Big Juji and I were finally able to sit down in Las Vegas at the Mr Olympia weekend. After shooting for Reign we were able to go back to the gym we shot at and sit for a little one on one. Juji is such an amazing human I was blessed and excited I could spend the time we had! From his early roots in bodybuilding, changing his careers and going all in on himself, and turning the phone off on Sundays. We had a great sit down and I'm pumped for our next.YouTubeInstagram Tik Tok
The Mysterious Hooded Figure is back, and this time they brought company! Can our heroes repel these three vicious and venomous foes? Where did they come from? What has become of Amadi? All this and more, in this week's thrilling episode!CONTENT WARNING: This episode features a battle that involves a firearm being discharged in a crowded area, resulting in mass panic. The firearm is not fired at any civilians, but we thought the situation might still be triggering for some. See below for a description of the battle and a timestamp to avoid the battle entirely. Starring: Shamini Bundell (she/her) as Reth (they/she, Eland's Blessing Swala, Squared Circle Pugilist)Liv Kennedy (she/her) as Juji Osei (she/her, Bloom Emere, Circle of Stars Druid 4/Twilight Cleric 2)Jonathan Charles (he/him) as Aboade (he/him, Copper Ironmaster, Battle Smith Artificer)and Jeremy Cobb (he/him) as your Very Neighborhood Dungeon Master! Post-production by Seth Leue and Daniel RamosJump to 1:02:49 to skip to the aftermath of the battle!BATTLE DESCRIPTION: Juji has engaged Hooded Figure 1, but she missed with her attempt to cast Light on them. Juji shouts "I was right!" as Hooded Figure 1 dodges out of the way and stabs her three times with small daggers that drip with venom. Juji takes 22 points of piercing and poison damage.Reth, seeing this, charges forward through the crowd and shoves Hooded Figure 1 to the ground, getting a brief flash of a memory of Tish, Reth's mentor, cheering them on. Reth attempts to grapple the downed opponent, but the figure twists out of the way. Frustrated, Reth punches Hooded Figure 1 in the face. It's a crit! The face under the hood feels strangely hard as Reth punches it for 13 bludgeoning damage. Hooded Figure 1 uses a Legendary Action to shoot a web out from one of its hands and yoink itself 35 feet away, which doesn't incur opportunity attacks, landing directly next to Aboade.Aboade casts Branding Smite and shoots Hooded Figure 1 in the face, shattering its head and causing it to shrink down into a broken yellow stone. Hooded Figure 1 has been vanquished! Aboade scans the crowd, sees Hooded Figure 2 30 feet away, and shoots them for 10 piercing damage. The crowd starts to become alarmed by the sound of gunshots.Hooded Figure 2 ducks into the crowd, emerging next to Reth. Large, purple, wooden mandibles with yellow, dripping tips burst out of its hood, and it bites Reth in the shoulder for 10 points of piercing damage, forcing Reth to make a Con save. Reth succeeds and suffers no further effects. At this point, Hooded Figure 3 bursts out of the crowd and plunges its own set of mandibles into Juji for 13 points of piercing damage. Juji also succeeds on the Con save. As they're bitten, both Reth and Juji get disjointed flashes of memory: Reth leaving an arena in the Upper Realms with a pit in their stomach, and Juji climbing the Mahogany Tree in Wagadu, dreading what comes next. Hooded Figure 2 then uses a Legendary Action to thwip away into the crowd using its web.Juji activates her Star Chalice ability, which causes her markings to radiate like constellations and nebulae, boosting her healing abilities. She uses a 3rd level Cure Wounds on herself, regaining 14 HP, and also heals Reth for 12. She stands up, but stays put so she doesn't take an opportunity attack from Hooded Figure 3.Hooded Figure 2 then uses a Legendary Action to blast a cone of psychic energy at both Reth and Juji, forcing them to make a Wisdom saving throw. Juji succeeds, taking 5 psychic damage and suffering no further effects, but Reth takes 10 psychic damage and is stunned as they're trapped in a stupor of memories. A number of bystanders are caught in the blast, killing some and incapacitating others. Reth is forced to relive the memory of themselves walking through a seedy part of the Upper Realms city to see Faizah, who is behind a screen having a man tortured and maimed for having spoken against her in public.The crowd has fully started to panic at this point. Aboade sends a tiny metal plate from his clothing flying between Hooded Figure 3 and Juji, as he casts Sanctuary on Juji. He then shoots Hooded Figure 3 once for 13 piercing damage, and he misses his second shot. He tries to reassure the crowd, but his words don't have much of an effect on the panicked folks.Hooded Figure 2 comes running out of the crowd and stabs Reth 3 more times for 30 points of piercing and poison damage, but Reth is so deep in memories that they don't even feel it.. Hooded Figure 3 makes the Wisdom save to bite Juji again for 11 piercing damage. Juji again makes her Constitution saving throw and suffers no further effects. As Hooded Figure 2's turn ends, Reth comes out of their stupor. The last thing they hear before they come back to reality is Faizah walking up to them and saying "right, let's talk". Reth then uses their Bloodied but Unbowed feature to regain all their Moxie points and a bunch of temp HP.For her turn, Juji uses Healing Word on Reth for 10 HP, then uses her Chalice ability on herself for 5 HP. Juji then produces her holy symbol: a piece of the Mahogany Tree, and uses her Channel Divinity ability Twilight Sanctuary, giving 7 temp HP to every ally and bystander within 30 feet at the end of each of their turns.The crowd is now fully panicking and fleeing the area, forcing all combatants to make either Strength or Dex saves of DC 10. All our heroes succeed, but Hooded Figure 2 gets knocked prone. Everyone now has 1/2 cover against ranged attacks. One of the Hooded Figures uses the psychic blast Legendary Action again, dealing 6 psychic damage to Juji and 11 psychic damage to Reth, stunning Reth yet again. Reth returns to the memory of Faizah, who seems surprised to see them.Aboade keeps blasting away, completely shattering Hooded Figure 3 and turning it back into a yellow stone. He then commands Yim to use Thorn Whip on Hooded Figure 2, who shoots out a spiced yam-covered vine and pulls it closer to him, dealing 10 points of piercing damage. Hooded Figure 2 runs back to Juji and bites her again for 7 piercing damage. Yet again, Juji makes the Con save and suffers no additional effects. Hooded Figure 2 flees back into the crowd as Reth snaps out of being stunned. Hooded Figure 2 then uses a Legendary Action to web itself another 35 feet away. Juji, not wanting to let it escape, rolls a Nat 20 on a 2nd level Guiding Bolt and obliterates Hooded Figure 2 with 33 points of radiant damage. Juji then rolls another Nat 20 on her Withered Woman check, and the DC goes up to 2. The Hooded Ones are vanquished!Unfortunately, the crowd is still surging, and all our heroes have to make Str. or Dex. saves again, this time DC 12. Juji fails and is knocked prone, taking 4 bludgeoning damage as terrified citizens run over her. Reth picks through the crowd, runs over and picks up Adofo, who had been knocked over by the crowd, and sees Khadija lying prone, possibly unconscious. Reth uses the rest of their movement to run over and pick Khadija up as well. For their part, Aboade and Yim start pulling bystanders to their feet. The crowd surges again, knocking Aboade and Yim over, but Reth uses their movement to Dash through the crowd, set Juji, Adofo, and Khadija down safely, and then run back to help Aboade and Yim as the crowd runs out of the area. With our heroes and their allies safe, the crowd clears the area and the guards arrive. The battle is over!

After passing through a series of deeply unsettling memories, our heroes find themselves in a grove filled with even more mysteries. Something has brought them here, and whatever it is doesn't want them to leave... CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains a depiction of a parental death, as well as vague references to alcoholism. Please see below for a full summary of the episode. Starring: Shamini Bundell (she/her) as Reth (they/she, Eland's Blessing Swala, Squared Circle Pugilist) Liv Kennedy (she/her) as Juji Osei (she/her, Bloom Emere, Circle of Stars Druid 4/Twilight Cleric 1) Jonathan Charles (he/him) as Aboade (he/him, Copper Ironmaster, Battle Smith Artificer) and Jeremy Cobb as your Very Neighborhood Dungeon Master! Post-production by Seth Leue and Daniel Ramos EPISODE SUMMARY: Our heroes find themselves in a grove surrounded by incredibly thick vines. The light is very low. There are items scattered all around them, mostly covered by the thick undergrowth. In the center of the grove stands a cracked idol, surrounding the idol is a beautiful arrangement of yellow stones, and kneeling at the edge of the arrangement an elderly Emere man. The man's body is connected to the idol by vein-like vines that are attached to each of his major articulation points (elbows, shoulders, knees, etc.). As Juji panics, and Reth is in shock, the party regroups. No one is quite sure of how they got here. They suspect that what they saw were illusions drawn from their memories. Juji reveals that the giant tree that she and Aboade fell down was from her past. She used to live in the tree, and they shared a powerful bond, but then things "went awry". Aboade and Reth note that the people they encountered in their memories all seemed to be made of some sticky substance. Aboade reveals that he has no memory of Dagbeor the automatons, although they did seem familiar and he did notice that the automatons bore a strong resemblance to Yim. Reth interrupts their speculation by going over to inspect the elderly Emere man, whom the group surmises is likely Jimoh. Reth walks over to Jimoh and touches him to test if he's sticky. While he thankfully isn't stick, Reth is drawn into his memories the moment they touch. They see how Jimoh fell to Wagadu as a child and was found by other Emere who were dressed very differently than the other Emere Reth has seen thus far. Among the Emere was another boy with whom Jimoh felt an immediate connection, like love at first sight. Reth relates this to the group, so Juji checks the vines and sees that they appear to have pierced into Jimoh's body and are forming some kind of vine network under his skin. The vines piercing Jimoh, as well as the vines covering all the objects spread around the room, all originate from the idol. Aboade decides to try and strike up a conversation with the old man, who has yet to react in any way to the party's presence. However, on his way over he trips on a vine and sees one of the overgrown items on the ground. It's an extremely old kalabash with an inscription in a language Aboade doesn't understand. Aboade rolls a 19 Calligrapher's Tools check to copy down the inscription, and then he decides to investigate the arrangement of yellow stones. He takes out his stone to compare, and immediately notices its similarity to the ones in the arrangement. He rolls a 27 Investigation check to notice that there are numerous, possibly hundreds of stones missing from the formation, which at one point might have covered the entire grove. The arrangement itself seems to be a 2-D rendering of a complex 3-D shape. Aboade decides to try and place his stone into the arrangement, but his task is made more difficult by the thick undergrowth among the stones. He accidentally knocks one of the stones out of place, and suddenly the stones all sprout legs and begin scuttling toward Aboade. Time to roll initiative! As the stones come to life, 8 thick vines rise up around the idol and begin lashing out at the party. One hits Aboade, sprouting smaller vines that wrap around his arm and grapple him, but two others miss Reth and Juji. Unfortunately, a fourth vine manages to whip around and successfully grapple Reth as well. Both Reth and Aboade are then dragged forward toward the idol. Aboade, who was closer to the idol, is dragged all the way to it and is forced to make a Wisdom saving throw, which he succeeds. Reth successfully tears away from the vine, breaking the grapple. The rocks swarm over Aboade, but their attacks are unable to break through his protection. Aboade uses his Ironmaster fetish charm to completely sever the vine that was grappling him, leaving it a smoking stump. He uses his second attack to swing at the spiders, but he fails to hit their AC as they dance over the blade of his weapon. Aboade then turns and tries to run, making it through the difficult terrain to the edge of the formation. Seeing all of this, Juji bends down, collects some of the twisted old vines, and casts Wither and Bloom, restoring HP to Aboade, deactivating a huge portion of the spidery rock swarm and damaging the vines. After dealing this damage, she has to make another one of her mysterious, unexplained rolls, which she succeeds on. At the top of the next round, the vines attack again, successfully grappling all 3 PCs. They dig into Reth's temple, forcing Reth to make a Wisdom save, which they fail. Upon failing the save, Reth is forced to relive a traumatic childhood memory of their parent, implied to have been an alcoholic, passing away in their sleep next to Reth when Reth was very young. Reth remembers staying in the room with them for a full day before leaving home into an uncertain future in the big city. As a result of this horrific memory, Reth gains another level of "psychic exhaustion", which essentially places them under the effects of the Slow spell. Their speed is halved, they suffer a -2 penalty to AC and Dex saves, they can't use reactions, and on their turn they can either use an action or a bonus action, but not both. Reth is completely demoralized by this vision, and their half-hearted attempt to break the grapple fails as a result. The spidery rocks swarm over them, dealing 5 points of piercing damage. Seeing Reth in distress, Aboade pulls out his pistol and begins blasting at the swarm, hitting both times and dealing 24 damage. Aboade's first shot deactivates the entire swarm, and his second shot shreds the vine, freeing Reth once more. With his bonus action, Aboade commands Yim to charge in and attack the idol itself. Yim bounds springily through the undergrowth and tears into the idol, dealing 6 points of force damage. Juji fires a 2nd level Guiding Bolt at the idol, but misses. She narrowly succeeds on another mysterious roll, and the air around her grows bitterly cold as the mysterious "she" approaches. On the vines' next turn, one successfully re-grapples Reth. Then, it's Juji's turn to fail a Wisdom save, which plunges her into the memory of a traumatic family dinner. Her entire family (a mother, father, two older sisters, and two older brothers) looks down on her for her lack of academic acumen. They devalue her again and again throughout her life, negatively comparing her to her siblings and constantly being disappointed in her. Juji takes a level of psychic exhaustion as well, giving her disadvantage on ability checks. Reth tries to kick out at the idol, but they miss yet again and stub their toe. Reth is feeling broken, lost, and hopeless as a result of their latest memory. Some of the spidery stones reactivate and begin attacking Aboade, but once again completely fail to harm him. Aboade shoots his pistol at the idol twice, doing 11 damage and blasting off a chunk, then Yim runs over to attack the spidery rocks, dealing 10 force damage and deactivating almost all of the stones once more. Aboade disappears under a flurry of coils as Yim goes to town. Juji uses her inspiration (gained for making a pun in a previous episode) to fire a 3rd level Guiding Bolt at the idol, but rolls two 4s and misses. She then rolls a Nat 1 on her mysterious roll, and even more chaos breaks loose. From Juji's perspective, a piercingly cold squall surrounds her as shriveled, gray hands grasp her shoulders. From Reth and Aboade's perspective, Juji is sucked screaming into a black hole that opens up inside of her her, then a shriveled, dessicated, terryfying woman drags herself out. The Withered Woman has arrived! Her eyes are so dark that they seem to swallow light rather than reflect it. From inside the black hole, Juji can see the flesh on her shoulders begin to decay where the Withered Woman is touching her. The Withered Woman is chaos incarnate, and her necrotic energy is lashing out, threatening to harm Juji's friends. Juji rolls a 19 on a Wisdom Save to divert the energy away from her friends and towards the idol, dealing 24 necrotic damage to it and causing it to begin to crumble. At the top of the round, Aboade succeeds on a Wisdom Save, but he, Reth, and the Withered Woman are dragged in towards the idol, which begins to glow. On Reth's turn, they remember Nzito's words and call out to the Forest Father for help. They roll a pivotal a Religion check and, bolstered by Nzito's love, succeed! The ground rumbles, the wall of vines that surround the grove shredded, and a glowing manifestation of the Forest Father bursts into the grove. He stands 10 feet tall, his entire body covered by hundreds of upside-down palm fronds. He glides into the room on rapidly dancing feet, draws a bow made of two rainbows tied together, and fires a glowing arrow into the heart of the idol. The idol shatters, the yellow stones go flying, and all the attacking vines shrivel and dissolve into light. The Withered Woman is also banished back into the black hole by this incredible power, and Juji reappears, still bearing faint marks where the Woman had touched her. The Forest Father says nothing, but gestures warmly to the party, shoots them a thumbs up, and then dances into the sky. Reth kneels as he leaves, Aboade offers a meek wave and a "er, thank you!", and Juji sits in a catatonic state. Yim also waves at the retreating Forest Father, looks around at the group and says "well, snap!"

Michelle presents five inflection points that led to her current work, including the impact of two professors in graduate school who helped her find her direction in AI. She explains what no-code AI means, why the ability for users to customize AI without having coding skills is important, and responds to the critics of no-code AI. Bruke and Michelle then delve into the inception of her AI company that develops AI assistants with cognitive intelligence, Juji, and how it is being used as a platform to introduce AI to early education. Finally, Michelle shares thoughts on the future of software and the no-code movement, as well as the future of AI itself.

We all know what it's like talking to a chatbot. Or, dealing with an automated customer service phone assistant (and ending up yelling, “Representative!” in frustration just to speak to a human being!). Either way, the robot on the other end doesn't really understand and treat us like a human. But what if it did? What if it had human “soft skills,” like empathy and humor? What if it actively listened and could read between the lines of your semantic subtleties? And, what if, like humans, it learned and got better at listening to and understanding you? That is exactly what Michelle Zhou has created. A computer scientist by training and an expert in human-centered AI, Michelle is the co-founder and CEO of Juji, a company that's aiming to be “The Apple of AI” by building the world's only no-code AI cognitive chatbot assistants. She previously spent 15 years working at IBM Research and is the inventor of IBM Watson Personality Insights. Michelle joins the podcast to talk about how she's creating no-code AI chatbots that feel and act more human – and her mission to democratize AI so that it's easy and affordable enough for any organization (or any person) to use.
I talk to Dr. Michelle Zhou Ph.D., CEO, and co-founder of Juji, a Silicon Valley company focused on creating next-generation cognitive AI with emotional intelligence. Basically, Michelle is working on making the talking, feeling AI that we've all seen in science fiction, a reality. Michelle talks about what it means for a bot to have high EQ, why humans get so attached to machines, and how people and machines can work together in ways that highlight their strengths!

In this episode I talk with my friend Julianna Blain, who you probably know by her nickname Juji. Much like myself, Juji grew up in an extremely fundamental Christian-Baptist household, that was characterized by stifling rules and severely controlled environments. In this episode she talks about what life looked like growing up within her religious cult, how she left it and the impact it has in her adult life. After hearing her story, it's easy to see what inspired her career path of being a future licensed professional mental health counselor. I've known Juji for a long time and she has always been outgoing, and a fun person to be around. I am truly inspired to see someone go from being deeply oppressed in their life to come out on the other side not as a victim; but as stronger, healthier, and fierce individual. #risingabovepodcast Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave_hess28/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/risingabovewithdavidhess Twitter: https://twitter.com/RisingAbovePod Email: risingabovewithdavidhess@gmail.com Juji Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Jublain Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jujooo/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itsjuj Juji also is a radio show host, for fun weekly local radio show called, “Who's that Star” with Lansing Community College.

We have heard for years that Chatbots are the future and although we have seen some significant progress in the concept and application, they are still impersonal and not as helpful as we had hoped they would be. Dr. Michelle Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Juji, Inc, as well as inventor of IBM Watson Personality Insights, joins us to talk about her belief that in order for Chatbots to be effective, they need to include cognitive intelligence that is both empathetic and responsible.
