AIKO means “The Child of Artificial Intelligence”.
In Japanese, “ai” means love, denoting the “emotional intelligence” an aspect of the my project. Word “ko” means a child.
In the AIKO project, I will attempt to combine the evolutionary approach to software growth, affective computing, emotional intelligence, pattern recognition, and language recognition.
AIKO may have infinite applications. For example, it can be used as a personal assistant, a tutor, or a competent filing manager with industry-specific applications.
Different approach
Most computing today is based on complex rules and a predefined knowledge base, which is the cause of its many shortcomings. It is not flexible or adaptable and is specialized in a very narrow area of expertise.
As much as I dislike the malicious hackers myself, I must say that even today’s computer viruses are narrow; they take advantage of a very particular security hole, and as soon as the breach is closed they are useless.
Both the quantum physics, the most advanced science, and millennia of spiritual training in Zen have led humanity to some interesting conclusions. Everything if you zoom in, is the flux of energy, everything is relative, and it can exist in multiple states simultaneously.
Suppose the wisest of us recognize these principles.
Why then is the computer science that practically runs our modern world so fixated on the narrow-minded idea of “true” or “false” with a pinch of probability?
This “brilliance” of today’s programs pales in comparison with the most straightforward living bacteria, which instantly starts to adapt when placed in a new environment. Within almost hours, its future generations embrace the change.
The software should have evolutionary approach, changing its own code constantly based on enviromental conditions.
I described the original concept of AIKO on November 9, 1999.
