Chinese scientists created the first “AI child,” who has the emotional behavior and abilities of a three- or four-year-old human child.
THE artificial intelligence This model, named Tong Tong, or Little Girl in English, was created by the Beijing Institute of Artificial General Intelligence (BIGAI).
Although Tong Tong currently has the abilities of a toddler, he is continually improving. BIGAI researchers suggest that through increased human interaction, Tong Tong could continually develop his skills, knowledge and values.
The team said Tong Tong is capable of learning on her own and can see a level of emotional engagement not seen in other AIs.
His ability to interpret human emotions even extends to being able to identify and communicate feelings like happiness, anger, and sadness and react appropriately to the emotional states of others.
Tong Tong was unveiled at Frontiers in Artificial General Intelligence Technology in Beijing last month.
Visitors could interact with Tong Tong and watch him display people skills, including being a neat freak, fixing crooked picture frames and mopping up spilled milk.
Tong Tong also has a range of facial expressions and gestures and can even hold a conversation.
“Tong Tong possesses a mind and strives to understand the common sense taught by humans,” a promotional video says.
“She discerns right from wrong, expresses her attitudes in various situations, and has the power to shape the future.”
According to Zhu Songchun, director of BIGAI and a world-renowned expert in the field of AI, for AI to progress, it must be able to accomplish an infinite range of tasks and set new ones autonomously. .
“To progress toward artificial general intelligence, we need to create entities that can understand the real world and have a wide range of skills,” he said.
As we hear stories of AI has gone rogue And violentperhaps a more complex AI, like Tong Tong, would want to integrate with humans.
Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking.
