You won’t surprise anyone with artificial intelligence. But in science fiction films we see intelligent cars in the form of real people with emotions, not just thousands of lines on the screen computers that embody the thinking of a machine. When does artificial intelligence finally find a face?
Employees of the New Zealand Animation Technology Laboratory at the University of Auckland tried to combine advanced AI on based on neural networks and the appearance of a little girl. Project called Baby X, and is currently undergoing testing This is the third software version of this interesting experiment.
Baby X is an interactive animated model of little girls. Her behavior is completely controlled by special psychobiological algorithms developed by employees laboratories. In fact, we have before us a full-fledged little child, able to enjoy, be sad, be interested in new things and express your emotions as fully as possible on the monitor screen.
This child sees the world using the built-in camera computer and hears it using a microphone. In real time, a little girl is able to respond to familiar words and associate them with certain objects, actions or images. You can say that Baby X is learning the same way like real children at her age.
Baby X is a virtual child capable of self learning

The child’s model is driven by a very advanced AI based on biological neural networks, due to which behavior virtual character pretty accurately repeats human behavior. The girl is able to be distracted in the learning process, stare at objects of interest to her and have fun if she sees something funny with her points of view. This greatly distinguishes the project from other modern developments in the field of artificial intelligence.
Baby X is only one of many projects that are being developed in a New Zealand laboratory. Researchers constantly improve the animation of human faces, are developing pattern recognition technology and human facial expressions, as well as at the same time working on many other equally interesting tasks.
In the video below you can see what constitutes Baby X in action, and how the learning process and pattern recognition artificial intelligence. I want to immediately warn you that if you read the news from a device based on Android, the video you most likely will not appear, since it is available on the Vimeo.com portal. However, you can always watch video using your personal computer or with iOS devices
