Samsung Electronics’ experimental research arm Star Lab has brought to Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020 in Las Vegas a demonstration of what it calls the world’s first artificial human-NEON.
- It is a virtual simulation of a human intelligence that learns, converses and sympathises like a regular person.
- Each simulated human – which would exist only on screens, not in the real world, and Samsung’s concept is that they would grow to develop believable personalities that would eventually make them friendly companions, yoga instructors, TV anchors and spokespeople.
- They look and behave like real humans, and could one day develop memories and emotions — though from behind a 4K display.
- Star Labs is headed by India-born scientist Pranav Mistry who underlines that what was showcased at CES was the product of just four months’ work.
