This research provides opportunities to develop robots and puters so that they can bee more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals. The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their puters and other hightech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines, Loetscher said.The researchers fed the data into their Al algorithms and found that puters running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person39。 The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, puters and robots powered by sophisticated(復(fù)雜的)artificial intelligence algorithms(算法)may soon have the ability to peer into your soul.
