BabyX is a hyper-realistic screen-based simulation of an infant, but it begs the question: Is human likeness something that we want from our machine counterparts?

Home > Extreme Is BabyX the Future of Silicon-Based Life Forms? Mark Sagar, the creator of BabyX, has chosen no less a goal than simulating the neural machinery of an infant human in silico.

Scientist at Auckland University have designed a virtual baby that learns. Called BabyX (shown) the computer programme can recognise words and images.

BabyX incorporates a number of algorithms, mimicking both neural behaviour when it comes to learning, and responses to the world around her in real-time -- such as the effect of dopamine when she ...

BabyX was developed by researchers in New Zealand and can see, hear, mimic facial expressions, respond to feedback and even gets distracted, frequently losing its focus to stare around the room.

The AI genius, who has built out his virtual BabyX from a laughing, crying head, sees a symbiotic relationship between humans and machines.

But its most intriguing, and creepy, creation is BabyX, a virtual baby that sits in a high chair and has learned to read (a few words like apple, sheep, etc.), express emotions, and even tap the ...

BabyX, the virtual, artificially intelligent creation of Mark Sagar and his new company, Soul Machines Ltd., looks, sounds, and acts so much like a real baby that interacting with her produces a ...
