In a recent report by World Business Satellite, project leader Iwahashi demonstrates in this video clip (darn Real Player!) how the robot learns worlds such as "blue", "block", "place on top" etc. The robot can then answer to questions such as "whats on top of the blue block?" and then carry out instructions such as "place elmo on top of the blue block" etc.
When new words are spoken to the robot, as it does not know the meaning initially, it will just shake its head and tell your to "f*** off" (joke).
I dont follow the robot scene closely so I'm no expert but according to this group, robots up until now have only been able to remember nouns, shapes and then point to those shapes.
In theory, one could teach this newly developed robot things like "Jon", "enemy", "gun", "trigger", "pull", "kill"...
My guess is that the Japanese are going to be the first to come up with the Terminators.
If you had a robot that looked like Motoko from Ghost in the Shell, what would be the first thing you ask her to do?

By then we'll be old as Aramaki Kacho.

I would probably make my "Motoko" robot do some "secret surveillance", who knows what I can get.

Hmm first thing to teach Motoko...how about the horizontal boogy? xD But this is actually really interesting, i am thinking of studying Computing and Multimedia at University next year, and one of the thigns i can do int he 3rd year is Artificial Inteligence ^_^

That is pretty impressive. I wonder what level of conceptual complexity it can handle... For example, does it understand concepts like future, past, and present? Could it learn?

not too impressed cause it's not AI, it's more like vocal command. In windows vista, you use your computer with vocal commands, that's pretty much the same here, the sounds trigger actions. AI would be like creating a machine that could learn without the human help, that could solve a problem by itself without having it recorded in it's memory. and yeah Danny, I guess the first cyborgs will be used for sex prurposes rather than war :)

Nice to see that Japan will be the first to invent the enslaving robots we will have to fight like in Terminator.

If we start seeing Arnold Schwarzeneggar look-a-likes in Japan, you'll know why.

It must have a large memory bank. But, can it mimic? also while learning, I think it needs to be able to see, process the image like the human brain. :D Lets see how far can they take it too :] I don't mind seeing Terminators, I-Robots and such. ah... Rules.. They need to abide to some law otherwise they'll eat us all.

Mmmmm, Kusanagi Motoko... hot... But it's interesting that this AI can learn words ànd then learn the meaning and the concept behind the word. Must be some nice optical recognition as well (but that has already come a long way).

Add me to the "Motoko... *drolls*/First poll option" sick people club XD

I wonder if they make any Motoko san candy dolls...

Mokoto isn't a robot though. Robotic body, but human brain. And she would probably mush you for thinking about her "body" that way.

Lets hope they won't put that AI on a chicken walker and turn it into another ED-209 (Robocop reference).

interesting, a self-learning AI and soon probably an autonomous robot call me paranoid or i just watch too much sci-fi movies but i'm afraid of the other posibble implications like learning to eradicate the human race or something... if ever i'll have my own Matoko Kusanagi model, i'll have her to be my personal bodyguard :3

Welcome to the future... I personally feel those robots will be used in wars and one day, given that they got their own personality, they will strive for their right and all the post-apocalyptic scenarios will be true... Hopefully we are not there yet and there still are a lot to do before that, and model the future into a good one when we still have the chance. ^^

Please read "rights"... Anyway, sorry if I messed up your day with my scenario and... I guess it is Elmo indeed. Guess they didn't want to make a public ad for anime this time :p
