Chatterbots Go Native: Considerations for an eco-system fostering the development of artificial life forms in a human world

摘要

AIML - A recently developed standard for describing knowledge for Robots using XML data structures is introduced. A very large English-based robot knowledge base developed using the standard is described. The English-based knowledge base is currently interacting with people at a rate of 00,000 inquiries per day. A web-based computer architecture (www.pandorabots.com) supporting the on-going development of the knowledge base is described. The architecture is highly scalable - during the last eight months the system has added more than 6000 different Robots. Currently, the number of new robots is doubling at the rate of every 60 days. The system handles more than 3 million inquiries a month. The architecture supports rapid acquisition of new knowledge while interacting with "unskilled humans". The architecture is secure and able to dynamically develop effective defenses against large-scale attacks while continuing to run.
