What makes SILVIA unique amonst AI is that she is context sensitive as compared to the current versions of AI. She is actually quite different than anything else out there and the people who understand the difficulties in getting an AI to respond (see Ray Kurzweil's Ramona for instance) are all blown away. There are teams of AI research in every single major institution (MIT, Princeton, etc.) in the US who have been trying to solve this for years. We've never seen anyone else have a conversation with a computer, unless you speak in specific command phrases. Can you have a conversation with Google? I think not. Thanks for the profile.
