-Caveat Lector- getting into our heads - we are almost there with modelling thought, but 'appears' to be a few years off - mind you this is public domain science - not the stuff they don't tell you about andrew > First Artificial Intelligence to Undergo Formal Human Psychological > Evaluation > > SAN DIEGO, CA -- 06/29/2001 -- For the first time a standard psychological > test known as the MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) used > by clinicians world wide in the evaluation and treatment of adults will be > administered to a machine based artificial personality. > > GAC (Generic Artificial Consciousness) - pronounced 'Jack' - is the > artificial personality being developed at the Mindpixel Digital Mind > Modeling Project (www.mindpixel.com) with the collaboration of nearly 40,000 > internet users from more than 200 countries worldwide. GAC will be evaluated > using the MMPI-2 over the next several months to assess it's learning of > human consensus experience from the Mindpixel project's large and diverse > group of users from many different cultures. The test will be supervised and > interpreted by Dr. Robert Epstein, one of the world's leading experts on > human and machine behavior. > > "Nothing like this has ever been attempted," said Epstein.
