本文总结了2007年10月26日在牛津大学举行的多学科论坛上的讨论，题为“社会中的人工伴侣：对现在和未来的展望”，以及前一天由雪莉·特克尔（Sherry Turkle）发言的公开会议。该活动由牛津互联网研究所（OII）高级研究员Yorick Wilks代表e-Horizons研究所与欧盟综合项目COMPANIONS联合组织。同伴公司正在研究基于对话软件的人工代理，这些代理将在相当长的一段时间内了解它们的主人。这些机器人可以被开发成提供建议、舒适和执行广泛的功能，以支持不同的个人和社会需求，比如成为老年人的“人工伴侣”，帮助他们的主人学习，或协助维持他们的主人的健身和健康。受邀的论坛参与者，包括计算机和社会科学家，还讨论了一系列使用先进人工智能和人机交互方法的相关发展。他们研究了构建人工伴侣的关键问题，强调了它们的社会、个人、情感和道德含义。本文对提出的主要问题进行了总结。与会者为论坛准备并在论坛上总结的立场文件构成了会议的核心资源。本文中大多数参与者的直接引用都来自立场文件。附录1包含当前人工伴侣的例子和论坛上提到的相关研究项目。
This paper summarizes discussions at the multidisciplinary forum held at the University of Oxford on 26 October 2007 entitled Artificial Companions in Society: Perspectives on the Present and Future, as well as an open meeting the previous day addressed by Sherry Turkle. The event was organized by Yorick Wilks, Senior Research Fellow for the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), on behalf of the e-Horizons Institute and in association with the EU Integrated Project COMPANIONS.COMPANIONS is studying conversational software-based artificial agents that will get to know their owners over a substantial period. These could be developed to advise, comfort and carry out a wide range of functions to support diverse personal and social needs, such as to be 'artificial companions' for the elderly, helping their owners to learn, or assisting to sustain their owners' fitness and health. The invited forum participants, including computer and social scientists, also discussed a range of related developments that use advanced artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction approaches. They examined key issues in building artificial companions, emphasizing their social, personal, emotional and ethical implications.This paper summarizes the main issues raised. Position papers prepared for, and generally summarized at, the forum by participants formed a core resource for the event. Most direct quotes from participants in this paper come from the position papers. Appendix 1 contains examples of current artificial companions and related research projects mentioned at the forum.
