• Abstract summary: We argue for a broader view that incorporates the potential for multiple levels of autonomy and human involvement. We argue for a wider range of metrics beyond productivity when integrating digital workers into a business process.

• Abstract: Robotic process automation (RPA) and its next evolutionary stage, intelligent process automation, promise to drive improvements in efficiencies and process outcomes. However, how can business leaders evaluate how to integrate intelligent automation into business processes? What is an appropriate division of labor between humans and machines? How should combined human-AI teams be evaluated? For RPA, often the human labor cost and the robotic labor cost are directly compared to make an automation decision. In this position paper, we argue for a broader view that incorporates the potential for multiple levels of autonomy and human involvement, as well as a wider range of metrics beyond productivity when integrating digital workers into a business process

  We propose a novel flow matching architecture built on top of a pre-trained vision-language model (VLM) to inherit Internet-scale semantic knowledge. We evaluate our model in terms of its ability to perform tasks in zero shot after pre-training, follow language instructions from people, and its ability to acquire new skills via fine-tuning.

  In imitation and reinforcement learning, the cost of human supervision limits the amount of data that robots can be trained on. In this work, we propose MEDAL++, a novel design for self-improving robotic systems. The robot autonomously practices the task by learning to both do and undo the task, simultaneously inferring the reward function from the demonstrations.

  We consider the problem of transferring a policy across two different robots with significantly different parameters such as kinematics and morphology. Existing approaches that train a new policy by matching the action or state transition distribution, including imitation learning methods, fail due to optimal action and/or state distribution being mismatched in different robots. We propose a novel method named $REvolveR$ of using continuous evolutionary models for robotic policy transfer implemented in a physics simulator.

  The benefits of human-like artificial intelligence include soaring productivity, increased leisure, and perhaps most profoundly, a better understanding of our own minds. But not all types of AI are human-like. In fact, many of the most powerful systems are very different from humans. As machines become better substitutes for human labor, workers lose economic and political bargaining power. In contrast, when AI is focused on augmenting humans rather than mimicking them, then humans retain the power to insist on a share of the value created.

• Automation: An Essential Component Of Ethical AI? [0.6445605125467572]
  Ethics is sometimes considered to be too abstract to be meaningfully implemented in artificial intelligence (AI) In this paper, we reflect on other aspects of computing that were previously considered to be very abstract. We wonder if ethical AI might be similarly achieved and advocate the process of automation as key step in making AI take ethical decisions.
