Researchers in Russia are expected to reveal an emotional computer within a year and a half, which will be able to think like a person and build up trust, its creators say.

The system, called 'Virtual Actor', is being created by the National Research Nuclear University in Moscow.

Its name was given because one of the main functions it will serve will be as an actor, playing the role of a specific person.

'The researchers say it will understand the context of what is going on, as well as keeping up with unfolding events.

The machine needs the ability to study not through programming or reinforcement learning, but as a thinking person, the researchers said.

The machine itself must be able to set learning goals, formulate questions to achieve these goals and actively seek the answers.

ONE MORE LEAP INTO THE MATRIX

Emotionally disturbed AI. What a great idea.

"Surpise!"

[Robert DeLong]

Or at least do an imitation of one with emotion. Still programmed with certain triggers to ape emotional characteristics.

[BenLurkin]

Yes, when they say “think like a human”, do they mean a male human or a female human?

Think of a Holograms that changes image when you change positions. Maybe that will be one approach. A virtual split screen of the genders. You choose which one to talk to when you want that version.

Why bother. We already have tens of millions of Demobots living in this country already.

Mood swings now even faster than females’ - great.

[Ray76]

Now that’s funny!

[fella]

That’s just Great.

A SkyNet with PMS.

Total BS

[Feckless]

Like brothers....

Like Cain and Abel.

[I want the USA back]

Bull$h!t. No computer program can experience emotions. Emotions are an attribute of animals and humans. A program can SIMULATE them. Not the same.

[MNDude]

Oh BS!

[Disambiguator]

Yes, when they say “think like a human”, do they mean a male human or a female human?

Or, as a rational human, or a liberal?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I guess the world probably really needs one of these. It’s so .......... up anyway.
