An AI 4-Year-Old In Second Life

Posted by kdawson on from the currents-and-eddies dept.

schliz notes a development out of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where researchers have successfully created an artificially intelligent four-year-old capable of reasoning about his beliefs to draw conclusions in a manner that matches human children his age. The technology, which runs on the institute's supercomputing clusters, will be put to use in immersive training and education scenarios. Researchers envision futuristic applications like those seen in Star Trek's holodeck."

    The things you describe are the NYT/Wired sensationalized and uninformed perspective of SL. The only reason to experience those things is if you're looking to have those experiences. If you're involved in the Sci/Tech and Business communities developing in SL, it's an entirely different community where none of that type of activity is really tolerated.

    Thanks for adding your clueless bleatings to the herd.
