Tong Tong, the first experience of the emergence of emotions in artificial intelligence

With the design of artificial intelligence “TangTang”, Chinese scientists took a big step in equipping artificial intelligence with human emotions. Engineered at the Beijing Public Artificial Intelligence Institute, this model looks like a three-year-old girl and can learn and explore the environment like a real child; Despite these things, the amazing feature of TongTang is more than just mentioned. The creators say that this artificial intelligence model is capable of understanding emotions! If this claim is proven, we are witnessing a fundamental transformation and a major turning point in the field of artificial intelligence.

The features and capabilities of the TangTang model, which was unveiled at the end of last January, at the General Artificial Intelligence Technologies Exhibition, include the following:

Appearance

Tong Tong has a 3D animated face that closely mimics real-life child expressions. This feature helps his character and makes it more human and interactive.

Interaction

Tong Tong is able to hold limited conversations, answer simple questions, sing and participate in simple games.

Cognitive abilities

The cognitive ability of this artificial intelligence model is influenced by the vocabulary of approximately 600 words and the ability to identify objects and people.

Technology

Using the combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning and natural language processing, TangTang has a comprehensive and innovative technology.

In short, TangTang is an advanced artificial intelligence with a natural face designed to evoke a sense of familiarity and connection with humans. These features make him stand out as a fresh and remarkable model in the field of artificial intelligence.

Despite all of the aforementioned, amidst the wonder of TangTang's invention, there are many concerns about the transparency of its development. This lack of transparency creates ethical dilemmas, especially regarding the validity and accuracy of emotional experiences of this model. In addition, there are concerns about the potential for changes in Tong Tong and the possibility of uncontrolled behavior in him. Despite all the aforementioned features, critics are skeptical about whether TangTang is truly a new development or merely offers new behaviors based on previous technologies; Also, since this model blurs the boundaries between artificial intelligence and human intelligence, the ethical and technical consequences of its existence are still the subject of intense investigation and debate.
