Our personalities as humans are shaped through interaction, reflected through basic survival and reproductive instincts, without any pre-assigned roles or desired computational outcomes. Now, researchers at Japan’s University of Electro-Communications have discovered that artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots can do something similar.
Graduate student Masatoshi Fujiyama, the project lead, said the results suggest that programming AI with needs-driven decision-making rather than pre-programmed roles encourages human-like behaviors and personalities.
