Can a machine have feelings?
Can inanimate machines have feelings? In other words, the machine can be pregnant, angry, sad, happy. This idea, is really inconceivable also.
Looking back, in 1981, when I was involved in the formation of the Chinese Society of Artificial Intelligence (the National Institute), I thought it would be nice to have a little "knowledge" of the machine, dare let the machine be able to communicate with human beings emotionally. It was a whimsical fantasy.
Now, the times have indeed changed. Microsoft's third generation Xiaoice and more than 4,000 million people have established emotional ties, mutual nanfennanshe, all day sticky sticky, a moment can not leave. What is the emotion of the computer?
In fact, the traditional human-computer interaction, mainly through the keyboard, mouse, screen and other means, only the pursuit of convenience and accuracy, the machine can not understand and adapt to human emotions or mood.
The idea that emotion is part of intelligence, not separation from intelligence, is important. Therefore, the next breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence may lie in how to endow the computer with emotional ability. The ability to express emotions is critical to the natural interaction between computers and people.
Without this ability to understand and express emotions, it is difficult to imagine machines with similar human intelligence, and it is difficult to expect human-computer interaction to be truly harmonious and natural.
Because the communication and communication between human beings is natural and affectionate, so in the process of man-machine interaction, people naturally expect the machine to have emotional ability.
Emotional computing (affective computting) is to give computers the same human-like ability to observe, understand, and generate all kinds of emotional features, and ultimately make computers as human beings to interact with people in a natural, cordial, and Vivid Way (note: This is the first time that Microsoft's third-generation robot Xiaoice. ）。
An in-depth study of human emotions was carried out as early as the end of 19th century. However, in addition to science fiction, few people used to associate "feelings" with inanimate machines.
The emotional power of the computer was first proposed by Professor Minsky of the University of MIT in 1985, and the question is not whether the intelligent machine can have any ' emotion ' but how it can be without emotion when it realizes intelligence. In other words, without the emotional component of intelligence is not really artificial intelligence, since then, the computer to give emotional power and allow computers to understand and express feelings of research, exploration has aroused the interest of many people in the computer industry. Today, Microsoft is the industry leader.
Assuming you're talking to Xiaoice, all of a sudden, she says to you in an urgent tone: "Go to the door, Aunt Wang is home." "In this anxious tone there is the emotion between the people. The use of artificial speech synthesis technology, audible straightforward, dull plate, no meaning.
