Jimmy, the Portable Human AI: “What Is Artificial Intelligence?”

We’ve uploaded a variety of videos to the Workshop Collection Online page, but my top recommendation is “Mobile Human AI Jimmy: ‘What Is Artificial Intelligence?’” We’re currently working
hard on the “Jimmy Onishi AI Project.”
Could we use AI to create a conversational agent that’s the spitting image of a real person?
This project aims to transform Jimmy Onishi’s mind into an AI and install it on a cell phone, so that people all over the world can freely converse with Jimmy Onishi.
This video is a documentary about that process.
To create AI Jimmy, we’re asking Jimmy to participate in 20,000 conversation patterns. I wonder if Jimmy will keep answering all 20,000 questions?
Will tomorrow bring a face-to-face meeting between AI Jimmy and the real Jimmy Onishi?!?!
