Meet BabyX, the virtual TODDLER that learns like a human

On screen an adult talks to a baby, showing images and words that the baby identifies and says aloud. But this isn't a parent talking to a child - rather, it's a researcher talking to an artificially intelligent human known as BabyX. The virtual infant learns and acts just like a real baby, and it could be an important step to creating artificially intelligent brains. Scientist at Auckland University have designed a virtual baby that learns. Called BabyX the computer programme can recognise words and images (shown).
