Jim Keller, a renowned expert in the field of artificial intelligence, is working on a cutting-edge AI chip codenamed 'Affectionate Intelligence' for LG Electronics. This novel AI processor is designed for use in smart homes, as well as for applications such as video processing and other emerging technologies. Keller's team is known for their pioneering work in the development of AI chips, and this new project is expected to push the boundaries of what is possible with AI technology. It's worth noting that, as with all modern 'AI' processors, the term 'Artificial Intelligence' can be somewhat of a misnomer, as these systems are more accurately described as advanced machine learning algorithms. Perhaps it's no coincidence, then, that LG is experimenting with shortening the name 'Affectionate Intelligence' to 'Affect Intelligence', a term that evokes the idea of a machine that is capable of experiencing emotions. However, it's worth noting that current AI systems, including those that mimic emotions, are still far from truly experiencing them in the way that humans do.
