EmpathyWorks™ - Artificial Personality For AI Systems
EmpathyWorks™ is a small, fast personality module for AI systems. Artificial personalities have an emotional state, inherited behavioral characteristics and a 'world view'. EmpathyWorks is:
- Rule-driven - no programming required
- Declarative - the Personality Rule Language (PRL™) allows behavioral scientists to use English-like statements instead of procedural programming
- Flexible - define species and individuals, behavioral characteristics, environment and relationships
- Small - EmpathyWorks requires less than 100KB ROM and less than 1K bytes of RAM per individual personality for simple scenarios
- Device Independent - a AI application informs EmpathyWorks of events and EmpathyWorks simulates the response of the personalities
- Time sensitive - simulated personalities respond to the passage of time
- Scalable - the number of personalities that can be modeled within an single application are limited only by memory and computational power
EmpathyWorks supports:
- Multi-generational inheritance - personality traits can be inherited from parents
- Event types - Responses to life-changing events are defined separately from mundane events
- Societal modeling - relationships between individuals can be defined
- Shared events - one artificial personality's life events can affect the other personalities with which it has relationships with
- Predator/prey relationships - behaviors corresponding to hunting and being hunted are supported
- Decision making - an application can query an artificial personality for its opinions as to which of several choices to make
- Life stages - artificial personalities can grow up to mature individuals, mature, become old and die
- Emotional display - an artificial personality's internal state can be queried for display
