If the good guy gets the girl, it's rated PG; if the bad guy gets the girl, it's rated R; and if everybody gets the girl, it's rated X - Kirk Douglas
AN AI based computer, which has been shown off at the LIFT Conference in Geneva, this week is designed to adapt to the needs of each user.
The QB1 which has been designed by Frédéric Kaplan, at EPFL CRAFT Laboratory, works out who is using the computer and adjusts the screen to suit them.
Instead of a keyboard or mouse, you navigate with simple gestures. QB1 is able to simultaneously take into account movements by both hands.
On a jukebox application, QB1 works out what the user might want to hear and at their favourite volume.
The next phase is to get the computer to a few "foster families" to test the first models to be produced this year.
Kaplan wants to see how people are going to tame the beast, how the machine will integrate in their homes and in people's lives in general. µ

aka "how to create a generation of spastic, short-attention-span drooling couch potatoes".
And could we please refrain from citing AI all the time ? There is no AI in this thingamabob, it's just clever programming.
We have no AI algorithms. We just have another variation of object-oriented programming that was built to mimic what we think is an adaptive process.
Wouldn't take a genius AI with me... "ARMIN VAN BUUREN. AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE."
Sounds like a user interface, not AI.
phhh.. so now face and gestures recognition is AI? very dissapointed...
