Lara Martin, a computing innovation fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, is using AI to teach computers how to tell stories through automated story generation. Specifically, Martin has been investigating how computers can be trained to play Dungeons & Dragons, as part of her research on natural language within human-centred AI and how humans communicate to design improved forms of AI. One of the biggest challenges in using AI for storytelling is the need to convey long-term coherence, as opposed to just handling specific tasks or translating blocks of text. Martin's research aims to help AI systems better understand and create cohesive stories, something that is important for the launch of ChatGPT, a new AI system designed to hold natural conversations. #laramartin #computinginnovation #ai #artificialintelligence #chatgpt #openai #machinelearning #neuralnetwork #deeplearning #datascience #robotics #nlp
