MIT Creates An AI Psychopath Because Someone Had To Eventually - Geek.com

In one of the big musical numbers from The Life Of Brian, Eric Idle reminds us to "always look on the bright side of life." Norman, a new artificial intelligence project from MIT, doesn't know how to do that. That's because Norman is a psychopath, just like the Hitchcock character that inspired the research team to create him. Like so many of these projects do, the MIT researchers started out by training Norman on freely available data found on the Web. Instead of looking at the usual family-friendly Google Images fare, however, they pointed Norman toward darker imagery.
