Tech Outlet Features Nizich’s Comments on New Device

January 22, 2024

Michael Nizich, Ph.D., director of the ETIC and adjunct associate professor of computer science, is featured prominently in an AI Business article about a new AI agent, the rabbit R1 device, that seemingly understands what people want to do, and then does it for them. Nizich noted that “It appears that the very unique difference in the rabbit r1 device is that it is learning how you, as an individual, use your apps to make your life easier, more productive, and usually just more enjoyable.” Devices like the r1 work because an “individual’s digital routines typically show little variation, making them manageable by an advanced AI system,” he said.
