AI-Powered Characters Changing The Game

Posted by in categories: education, robotics/AI

Gamers have been clamoring for better non-player characters (NPCs) for years, and the arrival of conversational AI may finally provide the computing superpower to make it possible. Several companies are now using natural language processing AI for games and entertainment, customer service, training and education. Mindverse’s MindOS targets enterprise, while Inworld helps game designers create AI powered NPCs (non player characters), which they describe as “Mind as a Service” (MaaS).

I saw Inworld’s extraordinary AI at work while attending the Disney Accelerator demo last fall where Inworld powered a very, very chatty and diplomatic 3CPO robot.

PLATO: How an educational computer system from the ’60s shaped the future

Posted by in categories: computing, education

Bright graphics, a touchscreen, a speech synthesizer, messaging apps, games, and educational software—no, it’s not your kid’s iPad. This is the mid-1970s, and you’re using PLATO.

Far from its comparatively primitive contemporaries of teletypes and punch cards, PLATO was something else entirely. If you were fortunate enough to be near the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) around a half-century ago, you just might have gotten a chance to build the future. Many of the computing innovations we treat as commonplace started with this system, and even today, some of PLATO’s capabilities have never been precisely duplicated. Today, we’ll look back on this influential technological testbed and see how you can experience it now.

From space race to Spacewar.
