Eddie the Artificially Intelligent 4-Year Old

Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have unveiled their latest project. He's called Eddie, and he's a character within Second Life who's claimed to have the reasoning abilities of a four-year-old child.

The child is a product of logic-based artificial intelligence and complex modelling techniques, and operates on what has been said to be the most powerful university-based supercomputing system in the world.

This research is supported by IBM and other outside sponsors, and requires the use of Rensselaer's Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovations (CCNI), which provides more than 100 teraflops of computing power through massively parallel Blue Gene supercomputers, POWER-based Linux clusters, and AMD Opteron processor-based clusters.
