Igor Pivovarov, principal analyst at the MIPT Center for Artificial Intelligence, says speech agents have personality foundations.
“The movement towards personality is now active in the field of AI. For example, speech agents actively developed by the Mikhail Burtsev team at our Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence Systems already have some basic personality traits. I mean the well-known DeepPavlov library and its customization possibilities. When a talking robot is personified, it looks like it has a certain personality and answers questions or conducts a dialogue based on that personality. This isn’t exactly the one I had in mind, but it’s something similar anyway. In the end, it will even be possible to interview him, although the result will be unpredictable, ”Igor Pivovarov told socialbites.ca.
According to Pivovarov, it is impossible to create a strong artificial intelligence without an inner personality that will motivate a person to help him solve various problems.
“There will always be some kind of proxy. He needs intelligence exactly to solve certain problems, in a sense intelligence is a tool for someone. And if there is no such person to control the intelligence, it is difficult to imagine the solution of the tasks assigned to him, ”explained the expert.
