Professor Patrick Winston has his computer learn about the human mind’s perception through stories.
As AI technology is thriving, its application can be helpful in many industries with enormous opportunities. Recently, MIT professor Patrick Winston successfully taught his computer about human perception and insight through a shortened version of Macbeth- Shakespeare’s Scottish tragedy.
Professor Patrick Winston’s work in the field of Artificial Intelligence is outstanding, he was the Director of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from 1972 to 1997. He is also a member of AIWS Standards and Practice Committee.
His algorithm installed in his computer enabled it to learn about revenge and ambition; it knows the joy of victory and death just through a truncated version of Macbeth- in just 37 sentences, a summary of the Bard’s immortal poetic: “Witches had vision and danced” and “Lady Macbeth has bad dreams”.
