A photo from open sources Six months ago at the College of Computer Georgia Institute of Technology Assistant Appears a teacher named Jill Watson. The teacher talked with students exclusively on an online forum created by the administration of the university, and helped them, ironically, to implement various developments in the field of artificial intelligence. Students didn’t even suspect that all this time they were communicating with just the same a real robot.
Miss Watson (the authors of the project specifically made her unmarried, to win over young men) almost daily three hundred students help in programming. Together with her nine more teaching assistants did the work, however all of them were human. Jill gave students advice, provided links to useful information, helped to fix errors and checked projects. In addition, artificial intelligence from joked and used slang, but if young people tried to talk to the robot on abstract topics, he reminded that their communication should be limited to the teacher-student relationship.
Artificial teacher was on top
After six months, the administration of the Technological Institute Georgia decided to check how successful the experiment was, and conducted an anonymous survey among students. Young americans told what their impressions of the new teachers were. It turned out that all future programmers were unanimously delighted from miss watson. The students wrote that she was obviously from twenty to thirty years old and she’s probably working on a doctoral the dissertation. Some of the respondents admitted that they would like to meet jill live however understood that teaching ethics do not allow this.

Miss Watson was born not only to human interaction with artificial intelligence has been studied as fuller and better as possible. The fact is that diligent American students constantly ask teachers too many questions. Alone only students of the described College of Computer Science each a semester, their teachers fill up with ten thousand questions. Living people do not always have the opportunity to respond to such a shaft. requests, so it occurred to one of the professors to create a program that will help young people over the Internet solve current problems. Jill Watson has an impressive base data, and in addition, can quickly and efficiently search for the right information on the World Wide Web.
So the high-tech future that was written about science fiction of the last century, is already gradually coming. Artificial intelligence, as an experiment at the Georgia Institute showed, is quite managed to replace the living remote teacher. Moreover, it was still possible turn out to be the best teacher …
