Hi,
Right now, doing any serious AI stuff in virtual worlds definitely
requires
some serious programming....
However, here is one suggestion: perhaps you could focus on the
environment rather than the AI itself, and you could design a learning
environment for AI systems in virtual worlds. For instance one could
take Piagetan cognitive development theory and its more modern
descendants,
and create a series of virtual environments designed to
-- help AI systems learn to pass through the Piagetan stages, in the
context
of appropriate interactions with human-controlled avatars
-- test whether the AI systems have indeed passed through certain stages
If done in Second Life for instance, this would involve building
structures and
some simple LSL scripting, but no really serious programming...

Hello
My name is Xavier, doing a Part time PhD in the UK. I am currently
register with the Creative Media department. I have just recently
started and did not yet come up with a research question, still
need to
read more. But I have narrowed down my interests with embodiment in
virtual worlds. I would like maybe to focus more on the complexity
of 3D
environments and how it can interact with a virtual agent to be
able to
build AI.
I have started researching but most of the content with virtual
embodiment I have read so far point towards Novamente upcoming
work with
second life, doesn't seem that too many academic people are
researching
this area. I have been in contact in people in second life who setup
meetings on AI too.
I would be interested to know if there are a group of PhD students
researching this field or other discussion forums that would help
me to
formulate my research question. I am more in the philosophical
approach
rather than the programing side of AI due to the department i do my
study in but I wont mind developing simulations and tests in
virtual worlds.
Thanks
Xav
