Researchers Want To Teach Computers Magic Tricks
These digital architectures could also create programs to categorize existing magic tricks and maybe even find new ones, the researchers argue. Magic relies upon deceptions like misdirection (the audience is focused on one thing while the magician performs another action) or change blindness (when major aspects of a scene or image are altered but the viewer failed to notice). So far, no one has created the kind of database that would be necessary to create a sophisticated magic-minded AI. But any such program would need data both about magic tricks--how they are performed, what techniques are used--and about the psychology of the viewer.
