Week 9 – Presentation Reflection

We had our presentation on Tuesday, everyone is very creative and passionate about what they are doing. People’s ideas are diverse which everyone shares different plans to achieve the project. I heard about some amazing topics and strategies. I was so impressed by how people connect varieties of technologies to their solving issues and  their arrangements to shoot the videos. I talked to Neville about his project and I think his topic is interesting. He is planing to connect AI technology to mental health. The narrative way of telling the story about a person talking to an AI robot can be a clever choice of combing the researched theories and story. I have not thought about AI technology can become one of the treatments to mental issues. I feel that Neville’s idea of an artificial companion is very suitable for those who feel lonely and desperate. According to what I knew from the psychology course before I came to university, lots of people did call for help before they committed suicide.  Family members or friends may not be able to discover the seriousness of the problem in time, or in the case that some people live alone. An artificial companion may be able to help during despair situation or at least issue an alarm before things are getting dangerous. I think Neville is on the right track in oder to achieve the goal of combing the academic theories to the story. He is still in the stage of constructing the story and he only has very basic ideas in the current stage. I am really curious about his story and how he is going to script the relationship between AI robot and the person in the video. Are there any possibilities that it becomes to a love story like what is shown in ‘Blade Runner’? I am looking forward to seeing how Neville is going to portray the interactions between AI robots and human and how that helpful to the treatment of mental issues.
