Work and thoughts resulting of the prototyping week Signal and Noise organized by MIT MediaLab in Berlin, Summer 2018
A very nice summery written by Stefania Druga with the highlights: Creative Chaos for Creative AI
- Physical: Things that we can touch are easier to understand and to connect with
- Tools to make it accessible: The best way to understand and demystify a new technology is to explore it and build it.
- Personality: Interacting with standardised systems may produce alienation, an organically perceived personality might help prevent this.
- Emotional:
- the most powerful kind of intelligence that we know of, human intelligence, is hard to conceive without emotions.
- emotions are a great way to relate to new things and that it’s easier to understand things we relate to.
- the interaction with an emotional AI is likely to be less alienating.
-
Personality: implementing an internal state so the AI develops an individual personality based on its interactions with the user. Possible implantation:
- a Markov chain model based on the five factors personality model
- a Markov chain model based on the Jungian personality model
- non-markovian implementations & other personality models
-
Interaction between different embodied AIs:
- Emergent behaviours
- How does my AI interact with yours? Does it feel jealous that yours have more legs or more sensors?
- Helping cementing certain manners like saying please or being thankful.
- Potential applications for kids with autism spectrum disorder: the loaded in
- The way kids behave towards their friends is an indicator of their emotional state. The AI could be used as tool to unearth and prevent adverse situations a child might be quietly going through, ie. bullying at school.
- Greater likelihood to be positively integrated in the family household
- Parental outsourcing, want a child but don't want to spend too much time with s/he? An AI can provide the attention you can't.
