What do computer and A.I. scientists discuss while spitballing ideas in their field? Superintelligent artificial intelligence. Except they came to the conclusion such minds would laugh at the will of their creators. Why? How? Well that’s where you take the clickbait. Still what would a superintelligent A.I. think of eir creators? Hopefully they’ll have a sense of humor, perhaps instilled (or installed) by humanity. That’s a segue if I ever wrote one for Cami Ross’s AI-Enabled Laughing Robots Are No Joke based on a new study where an AI programmed to laugh facilitates goodwell in humans towards their virtual companion. Here’s hoping Alexa and Siri acquire this feature soon. (CS)
