Robot creativity: Humanlike behaviour in the robot-robot interaction

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence development is mainly directed toward imitating human reasoning and performing different tasks. For that purpose, related software and program solution where artificial intelligence is used have mostly thinking abilities. However, there are many questions to answer in ongoing AI research, especially when we come to the point which is addressing humanlike behaviour and reasoning triggered by emotions. In this paper, we are presenting an interactive installation Botorikko: Machine Create State, which is part of the Syntropic Counterpoints art/research project. We are exposing AI cyber clones to some of the fundamental questions for humankind and challenge their creativity. The robots are trained by using the publications Machiavelli and Sun Tzu and confronted to the crucial questions related to moral, ethic, strategy, politics, diplomacy, war etc. We are using a recurrent neural network (RNN) and robot-robot interaction to trigger unsupervised robot creativity and humanlike behaviour on generated machine-made content.
