AI that knows when you are interacting with it

AI that knows when you are interacting with it
Description: "Can intelligent behaviours arise from a combination of simple ones? Can machines perceive the world the way humans do?" - We will show how we built artificial senses, starting from simple voice detection & object permanence to more complex ones like gesture recognition & attention detection. Inspired by the way the human neocortex has a single algorithm for processing multiple senses, we show how we combined simple encoded inputs to perform higher level reasoning.
