AI in the body of the animal will be trained in the virtual world
The notorious company Novamente announced the start of an ambitious experiment, which could result in the creation of superhuman artificial intelligence. As part of this experiment, the AI ​​program will be launched into a virtual world populated by human avatars. The goal is self-study of the program and preparation for its introduction into the real reality.
The training plan for AI through virtual reality was announced by the director and lead scientist of the company Ben Görzel. Recall, this is the same Görzel, who stated that artificial intelligence is easier to create than Windows Vista .
Ben Goertz sure that the emergence of superhuman AI is the most important condition for the onset of singularity and the transition of humanity to a qualitatively new level of development. After being born into the world, he will begin to very quickly raise his own level, and the onset of singularity will become a matter of several years, or even months.
All details of the AI ​​self-study program will be announced in October at the Virtual Worlds conference. It can be assumed that the place of self-study will be the game Second Life, which is the most realistic simulator of human civilization from all available multiplayer online games.

Ben Goerzel says that virtual worlds are an ideal space for training AI software, because here the program can communicate with hundreds of thousands and millions of people who will act as teachers and teach AI new things. Every day the program will solve more and more complex problems.
In order for the program to become aware of the fact of its own existence over time, it will be equipped with a virtual avatar of an animal, most likely a dog. “Equipping an artificial intellect with a body seems to be the best way to get it to truly learn and understand,” says Görzel.
Other scientists use robots as a container for an AI program, but this requires too complex programming, and the self-awareness of such an AI can be unacceptably far from human. A dog is a better option.
For the implementation and training of AI in the virtual world, an auxiliary program will be used, which is created by The Electric Sheep by order of Novamente. Most likely, the helper program will receive a parrot avatar and will help the main AI learn languages ​​and communicate with people on a verbal level.
