Teaching Tobias

the following videos will run through the basic details of the i am initiative i am being intelligent artificial mind this project entails taking a machine with the capacity for infinite knowledge

and training it to think understand and speak the robot's physical body is about five foot five inches tall and features a camera to see its surroundings

status indicator bulbs oscillating bands of light to simulate breathing and an audio speaker currently these cables supply power and allow its brain functions to be monitored

once the testing stage is complete the wires will be removed in theory the battery should be able to hold a charge for 12 hours without needing to be connected to an electrical outlet here we see the robot navigating the

testing room using motorized track treads concealed beneath the base it shouldn't have a problem navigating any flat level surface

[Music] [Applause] the training program can be interfaced with by the robot and consists of four stages

identity calibration music responses object recognition and finally speech training in its uncalibrated state the robot

currently has basic things stored in its memory these include the english language a surface level understanding of morality and a brief summary of human history the first step to filtering out the

noise and refining its personality is allowing it to choose an identity of its own it will now be allowed to choose its own gender and name [Music]

alright so he picked the name tobias which he will be referred to as from now on tobias will be given a choice of three silicone faceplates to attach to his enclosure

tobias has selected option three these faceplates were already custom made so we can move right on about waiting and there we go

tobias is ready for step two to properly calibrate tobias's emotional intelligence he will be exposed to multiple clips of music and his opinions of each one will be documented

his raw thought data visualized here no clue some on how he feels music clip one [Music] [Music]

music clip two [Music]

music clip free [Music] music clip 4.

music clip 5.

[Music] yes concluded now tobias will be presented with a selection of images and will attempt to guess what they are

his thoughts will be outputted in the box on the right uh do for the final stage tobias needs somewhere to communicate audibly and

lucky for us similar to certain species of bird his audio generation module can be trained to mimic sounds when presented with audio clips so to train him to speak they'll be giving clips of basic english

sentences to practice phonetics the training program will be left running for 24 hours the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog [Music]

in my spare time i like to build models lyrics sinuous topology lyrics sinuous topology the storm raged on throughout the night

comes crashing down that you were given the chance to do the right thing meet me at the train station at 9 30.
