Read the following paragraph from the section “What do you want to do with your career?” There are very few black females in the computer science field and this was initially an adjustment for me. In fact, my first black professor was when I was a Ph. D. student at Georgia

Tech. Now, my adviser is a black female computer science professor. Her mentorship means so much to me, and it has been so comforting to have her advice. My long-term goal is to be a

professor so I can be an ally, mentor and role model for other students of color.

question two

Read the following paragraph from the section “Why do robots need to be different for children than adults?”

Most robots with artificial intelligence are designed to recognize emotion and facial features and respond to adult behavior. It works like this: a robot looks at a person's face and takes photos of

that person with cameras and then the images are compared with a database of images the robot already has. From there, the robot can tell what emotion about the person is expressing to know

how they are feeling. Yet for the robot to be able to do this it takes a lot of data — we're talking millions and millions of images.
