But AI tools will only actually help if mental health expertise is built in from the start — not called in when things go wrong. That's what brought together Asami Koike, founder of culturally-responsive mental health support network Shapes and Sounds, and Yifei Wang, founder of AI firm AIBUILD. In this episode, they talk about what it takes to build a companion robot for older Australians — and why getting it right means two very different worlds learning to work together.\nAnd also: they got to know each other from being a part of Season One of this podcast! \nMaking It in Melbourne is produced by the City of Melbourne with technical and research assistance from RMIT School of Media and Communication.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/4EzAAnSUNVovMyN51pGc6C5TCqq9qVNpG6_2jg4n9Qs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNzll/YTFjZWVlMjgxOWY1/YzBlOWFlOWVhMmJm/YzM5MS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
