How to build a baby: A developmental approach to artificial intelligence
PhD. Martin Takac
Has a PhD in artificial intelligence and currently holds an associate professor position at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, teaching cognitive science. His research focuses on how different kinds of minds (human, animal, artificial) make sense of the world around them. He is an author of more than 80 scientific publications. He is a co-designer of BabyX – the world's first AI-driven hyperrealistic simulation of a human baby – developed by Soul Machines Ltd. He is also publicly active in the area of AI ethics and serves as a member of the Slovak government's committee for AI regulation
How to build a baby: A developmental approach to artificial intelligence.
We can view the human mind as a collection of interacting dynamical systems with emergent behaviour. More importantly, we are constantly engaged in interactions with our environment and other people. Learning from interactions is essential for BECOMING intelligent. In my talk I will present several computational models serving as building blocks of a cognitive architecture for experiments with developing artificial general intelligence. I will also present BabyX – AI-driven hyperrealistic simulation of a human baby - and experiments in development of cognitive abilities and communication using BabyX as a model
