AI is functional, but can it be friendly? Soul Machines believes so.

Qandeel Baloch was bold, fearless and a proud feminist. Last week, she became the latest victim of “honor killing.”
“As a women we must stand up for ourselves. As a women we must stand up for each other…as a women we must stand up for justice.” Baloch posted on Facebook days before she was killed.
Using technology for social good! I love this! It is a special advertisement that shows a different message to adults and to children. They do this by putting two images over each other so that people of different heights can see different images. Only people below the average height of a ten year old can see the message saying “if somebody hurts you- call us.” Those who are taller (adults) only see a message that says “sometimes abuse is only visible to the one who suffers”. It is a really cool idea- and I think a mainly effective one. It is good to get the number of these helplines out to children who need them- and I hope that many young individuals will be aided by this fascinating (though simple) innovation in combining technology with social good!
Every year on this day I spend a little time to listen to national anthem and national songs to charge myself up. We’re really lucky that we had the Pakistan Parade again after around 7 years. It was amazing seeing a national unity.
However this year, I’d like to share my resolution with you. Pakistan is going through a real tough time and we’re the ones who can either make it stand or fall. Little actions everyday can help positivity prevail in Pakistan. Its been long we’ve been hit by mass negativity. I don’t want the same forever, we can change it. We have amazing talent and opportunities in Pakistan and we should be proud of it. Recognizing the efforts of young heroes, activists, volunteers is really important too, these are the people working day and night for a better Pakistan, and we should encourage and appreciate them.
Lets take an oath today that we’ll keep doing our little actions for good no matter what, we’ll not let the negativity win. This is our land and we’re it’s heroes. The least we can do is, Hope. I hope Pakistan, do you?
