Kyoto City Zoo is currently hosting a demonstration test of a cute AI robot.

Interactive AI Robot Demonstration Experiment at Kyoto Zoo: "Talk to it and train it.

This appears to be the world's first demonstration of the technology. The following is a quote.

AI technology for chit-chat, Q&A and interactivity

We have developed a technology that uses two robots, one of which makes pleasantries, and the other coordinates the two robots to carry on a chat with a person for about 5 minutes without any breakdowns.
In addition, dialogue knowledge of the range of possible utterances by the user was created to enable accurate responses.
This is the world's first technology that enables interactive and continuous back-and-forth between chatting and question-and-answer sessions without discomfort.

They have developed a technology that allows not only clear Yes/No dialogues such as question-and-answer sessions, but also conversations with small chit-chat interspersed by using a unique dialog knowledge database. This technology is the first of its kind in the world, they say. Everyday conversation is high context, so the words are fragmented and the topics fly off the tongue. I am looking forward to seeing how they are going to solve this difficult problem.

Upgrading AI in Demonstration Experiments

Mr. Sugiyama, who was in charge of development, commented.

We hope that the robot will talk to us freely and train its AI. We would like to use it in the development of chatting and listening-type robots.

If you live in Kyoto, how about AI training on weekends?
