Baby Hal
We use computers every day, for lots of different things. Computers build things, they
help us to communicate and solve problems. Powerful supercomputers can do 100 trillion
calculations per second. But now computers can do more than calculate; they can learn from
their experience too. IBM’s computer Deep Blue beat the world champion chess player Gary
Kasparov. Its big advantage is that it doesn’t get tired, and it never forgets a move.
Now those computers can learn from experience, the next stage is a computer that can
think for itself.
A company called Artificial Intelligence (AL) is developing a new computer program.
The program is in a computer called Baby Hal. It helps Baby Hal learn a language in the same
way humans do. Hal is the name of the intelligent computer in the science fiction film 2001: A
Space Odyssey. That computer was dangerous and hurt people, but Baby Hal is not a dangerous
computer. Anat Treister-Goren is teaching Baby Hal to learn a language in the same way that
humans learn from their mothers.
Anat is very proud of Hal. She says ‘Well done’, when Hal solves a problem and she
corrects its wrong answers on the computer keyboard. Baby Hal enjoys learning about the world
by playing games and listening to stories just like a child. Hal’s language level is the same as an
18-month-old baby, but its vocabulary is growing fast, and it’s making words into sentences.
Computers are part of our lives. They give us information, help us at work, and do the
shopping. But powerful machines like Baby Hal, that can think for themselves, need good
parents. We don’t want dangerous computers that make the wrong decisions, like Hal in the film
2001.
