10. Why is a smile so important?
It builds trust
a firm belief in the reliability, truth,
or ability of someone or something
11. “Ginny!" said Mr.Weasley, flabbergasted. "Haven't I
taught you anything?What have I always told you?
Never trust anything that can think for itself if you
can't see where it keeps its brain?”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
12. Humans reading an AI assistant or robot’s behaviour
• Visual (Uncanny Valley)
• Movement
• Comprehension (how they sense us)
• Intelligence and common sense
• Security and safety
• Functionality and level of autonomy
• Personality ?
14. “Robots and AI
should reflect what
they do rather than
trying to look like
humans.”
Rodney Brooks, Rethink Robotics

15. BERT2 (Bristol University)
BERT2 robot has emotive
eyes, eyebrows and lips.
The study found that, even
though the BERT2 was less
effective, people preferred
the communicative,
emotive bot.

16. Robots and AI reading human’s behaviour
• Human behaviour tracking
• Expression
• Body language
• Behaviours systems
• Task-based interactions
• Gaze
• Machine ethics
• Personality

19. “Behind Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s
Alexa and Microsoft’s Cortana
are not just software engineers.
Increasingly, there are poets,
comedians, fiction writers, and
other artistic types charged with
engineering the personalities for
a fast-growing crop of artificial
intelligence tools.”

job in Silicon
Valley is for
poets

20. Machine ethics
• South Korea Ethics Charter 2012
• Japan – Ten Principles of Robot Law
• EU – ISO 13482:2014
• Asimov’s rule of three

22. ‟It’s no doubt because Robin has his
own personality and is sometimes
impertinent and sarcastic that he
appeals to many users,”
Dr Ilya Eckstein Co-founder at Robin Labs
AI Virtual Assistant Personalities
“Cubic.ai pays attention to you, and can
even learn your preferences and your
sense of humor.”

23. What traits or behaviours would you like
to see in your robot or virtual assistant?
#ITbehave @roboticsandai #socialroboticsai
25. “A quick straw poll of the WIRED.co.uk team suggests the
existing robot personalities we'd like to have a beer with include
Marvin, the Paranoid Android; R2D2 ("cute"); Wall-E ("he'd be
uplifting"); George the first humanoid robot; Robbie the Robot
(for "retro charm"); and Optimus Prime. We'd steer clear of evil
Megatron and amoral Ava from Ex-Machina. We're also not so
keen on C-3P0 ("too much of a nag").”

29. Permission given by Geminoid HI-4 was developed by Osaka University
Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro has built
his geminoid HI-4 to study what it
is to be human
“In the not-too-distant future, Genius
Machines will walk among us. They will
be smart, kind, and wise. Together,
man and machine will create a better
future for the world”.
Permission given by Hanson Robotics
31. Will AI compete with a smile?
• AI and robots are learning ALL the time
• Trust not just through a smile
• AI and robotic personalities work
• AI and robots will smile.
……….But will we smile back?
When users ask Siri, Apple’s digital assistant, what she likes to drink, she is quick with an answer. "I have a thirst for knowledge," she responds.
Her counterpart at Microsoft, Cortana, opts for a very, very dry martini.
But M, the digital assistant Facebook is testing, deflects the question. "I don't have an opinion about that. What's your favorite drink?“

Salesforce is investing: AI platform Einstein will not just consume and manage information like traditional CRM software suites. It will learn from the data. Ultimately it will understand what customers want before even they know. That would be a game-changer in the CRM industry. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmarkman/2016/09/13/ai-is-the-future-of-salesforce/#3b5a8ec2159a
Watson is IBM’s artificial intelligence (or cognitive computing) platform that “uses natural language processing or watching and machine learning to reveal insights from large amounts of unstructured data”. Unstructured data includes news articles, research reports, social media posts, most of the internet and other data sources. That’s why IBM quote that 80% of all data today is ‘unstructured’.
Watson can read 40 million documents in 15 seconds.

In 2007 the version 2 robot was able to demonstrate some amazing capabilities, including autonomous mobility at a brisk human walking pace, isolating the human voice from all the background noise, accessing the internet to identify objects, and using indoor network cameras as “eyes” to find objects. More recently, artificial intelligence technology was used for functions requiring advanced intelligent processing for tasks such as dialogue, with the appropriate answers to questions asked in different forms, and a predictive function that helps the robot avoid colliding with moving objects that may suddenly appear.

1. How does EMIEW3 know when to approach somebody? (What signs/signals is it looking for?) -> Using the sensors as well as 14 cameras inside the head.
2. What personality does EMIEW3 have? -> EMEIEW doesn't have the personality at this moment. Just FYI, we developed it based on the image of 5-year old boy.

Last year, the Henn na Hotel, in Sasebo, Japan made headlines as the first of its kind as a hotel that's run completely by artificial robots. As of 2017, the "Strange Hotel," as it it named in Japanese, will be expanding with a new location in the Tokyo Disney Resort.

It is a universal message
Erikson’s (1959) theory of psychosocial development – Trust is the first of eight distinct stages (0 – 1.5 years)
In fact, 51% of people say that a conversational interface would make it easier to get things done when engaging with a company—no matter whether they use an IVR, Web site or mobile app.6

SEMAINE project - miserable - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zruOPSSWVXw
The Semaine project is an EU-FP7 1st call STREP project and aims to build a SAL, a Sensitive Artificial Listener, a multimodal dialogue system which can:interact with humans with a virtual character
sustain an interaction with a user for some time
react appropriately to the user's non-verbal behaviour
In the end, this SAL-system will be released to a large extent as an open source research tool to the community.
!But just because your AI assistant has a carefully curated personality doesn’t mean it’s going to be useful. Making AI conversational interfaces is still very, very hard (though Baidu seems to be doing pretty well with it in China), as it can misunderstand what you’re requesting, or may only be able to help in specific situations.”
Article goes on to say…. what about the fact that there are more female virtual assistants than male???

Dystopian film, Ex-Machina (2015) appealed and dances with our fears rather than our hopes
In Japan mechanical images of the human form have been part of Japanese culture between the 17 - 19th century. Karakuri puppets performed specific gestures as a form of entertainment. The word Karakuri means “mechanisms” or “trick” that evokes a sense of awe through the concealment of its inner workings
