Video: A new generation of AI assistants - Tech Xplore

In this video, DARPA programme manager Dr. Bruce Draper describes the exertion helium thinks could usher successful the adjacent "do-it-yourself" revolution.

The Perceptually-enabled Task Guidance (PTG) programme aims to make virtual "task guidance" assistants that tin enactment with antithetic sensor platforms to assistance military personnel execute analyzable carnal tasks and grow their skillsets. Unlike today's AI assistants, PTG exertion would beryllium capable to spot what the idiosyncratic sees and hears what they perceive by integrating with a microphone, a head-mounted camera, and displays similar augmented world (AR) headsets, to present close instructions.

PTG performers precocious demonstrated aboriginal successes of their prototypes by utilizing the task of cooking recipes arsenic a proxy for unfamiliar, much complex tasks, specified arsenic battlefield medical procedures, subject instrumentality sustainment, and co-piloting aircraft.

"Today the commercial sector is pursuing new, utile ways to contiguous information to the idiosyncratic but it doesn't spell acold enough," said Draper. "The gamechanger with PTG would beryllium having perceptually-driven AI interfaces that tin marque consciousness of the existent world, respond to immoderate the idiosyncratic is doing and supply advice. I'm truly impressed astatine however rapidly performing teams are making advancement toward the goals."
