ICCV Daily 2023 - Wednesday

cannot replace humans, but it's just a tool. It's a powerful tool that enables you to do things faster, to do things better. And am I worried about AI in regard to life? Maybe to some extent. Sometimes, when I see some things, I think, do I want this for myself or for my family? The answer is no. But again, it's rather a personal choice. For example, I think a couple of years ago, I saw this prototype of an AI-powered toy for really young kids who can communicate with the kid, etc. And honestly, I am not sure that this is something that I would like for my kids. I don't think that we are at the point that it's A, really safe, and B I think it might be a little bit early for the child to present this to them. It might create some sort of confusion between live beings and AI toys. But again, this is just my personal opinion, and here everyone chooses for themselves. Nadiya, up until now, our chat has been fascinating. My next topic may be more painful. You are Ukrainian, and you do not live in Ukraine. How much do you miss Ukraine, and what can you tell us about how you have been living the past 18 months? [hesitates for a moment] You feel inside as if you are split in two. Because for me, I live in France, and I have to continue functioning normally every day. I go to work, I spend time with my family, I smile at people, etc. Then there's a second half that reads news or gets messages from friends and family that are facing the horror and the tragedy and the pain of war. Of course, it cannot be even closely compared to people's experience who are in Ukraine right now. But I believe there is no Ukrainian in the world that is not affected by the war. How can life go on when somebody is burning down your house? I honestly don't know. But it has to, as you cannot just stop doing whatever you are doing and say I'm going to wait until the war is over. Can you really say, okay, business as usual? Sometimes, don't you feel the whole world should stop and say, hey, come on, this can’t goon? 20 DAILY ICCV Wednesday Women in Computer Vision UKRAINE CORNER
