Artifici(Al)ove

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by
machines, especially computer systems - Google

When we think of a human being, what is the first thought to pop in our minds? Is it the  ability to communicate amongst each other in different languages across the globe?
Is it the way we show emotions and react to those emotions accordingly? Or is it the  way we are physically made including all the parts that make our unique selves, us.  Now what if I told you that we lived in a world where a non-birthed being could do  the same? What if your therapist was a robot who could help diagnose you and treat your depression, you built your own girlfriend who you now know on a personal level and you come home to a virtual friend who asks you how your day was. This might seem like some Ashley-O Black Mirror shit, but the newest advances of AI in relation to human interaction are very real and showing no signs of turning back.

Here at Artifici(Al)ove we are going to explore how AI is helping us, harming us and just plain weirding us out in today’s social climate. From robots preforming heart surgery, to the first ever AI sex doll brothel, we are here to share our curiosity and  opinions with the world. Our societal norms are ever changing, and the traditional  definition of human interaction is being blurred. It’s time to expand our minds, open  our arms and be “human”.

Relationships and sex is at the core of human essence, and a ubiquitous platform such as the internet didn't take long to catch up. In the beginnings, it wasn't through games and definitely not AI that you 'met' your online girlfriend. Chat Rooms are at the core of it all. These were the first form of the on...

I Had Tea With Her Majesty, The Queen: An Artificially Intelligent Puppet

Robot engineers from London created an Artificially Intelligent puppet that looks just like Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who can rattle off about almost any topic from the Prime Minister to penicillin. She’s a walking, talking Google search engine that listens and understands conversations. Her creators made her more 'human' by tweaking the algorithms controlling her voice to include different tones, speeds and accurate lip-sync. Is this what robots are going to look like in the future? As she becomes more intelligent, does that make her more dangerous? Please watch the video down below:

New AI Scans Your Texts for True Love A new class of apps can use machine intelligence to determine if your text conversations are imbued with hidden romantic sparks. PHOTOGRAPH: SAM MELLISH/IN PICTURES/GETTY IMAGES Every good love story has a moment in which the precious ingénue, blind to the complexities of the world, misinterprets the lover's move. Sally mistakes Harry's interest for friendship. Romeo, believing Juliet to be dead, poisons himself. The folly of love is not so much about what we do when we are flooded with feelings, but what can happen when we have incomplete data. This is perhaps why a crop of new apps have arrived, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence , to offer relationship a...
