A logical next step in the study of Robotics and its ethical and social implications is to focus on the software that makes robots acquire quasi human capabilities. The software that runs robots, as well as other modern technology applications, is based on Artificial Intelligence.
As a primer, we will refer to “What is Artificial Intelligence?” by Stanford University Professor of Computer Science Dr. John McCarthy, one of the pioneers of AI.
We will also be referring briefly to the first Chapter in the book “Expert Systems and Artificial Intelligence”, by Robert S. Engelmore and Edward Feigenbaum.
In order to see the possibilities of AI for mainstream gaming applications, we will take a look at Project Milo.
We will then look at a short video on The Rise of Artificial Intelligence:
Another short clip illustrates the concept of the Uncanny Valley and its relation to evolution of AI.
In order to better understand the extent to which conversational engines have evolved, we will be looking at the Loebner Prize competition:
Finally, so that you can get some first person interaction with AI bots, we will transfer to The Personality Forge, where you will be chatting with an AI program and try to catch it into betraying itself to be a robot!
