Altera, a research lab founded by Dr. Robert Yang after leaving MIT, is pioneering the development of 'digital humans'—AI agents designed to collaborate with people in meaningful, human-like ways. These agents, powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o and a parallel multi-module system, are capable of maintaining long-term performance and addressing data degradation issues. Altera's AI agents can operate autonomously for up to 4 hours and are being used in various applications, including playing games like Minecraft. They exhibit emergent behaviors such as forming trading hubs and accumulating wealth. Altera aims to enhance human-AI collaboration by creating AI that can interact, collaborate, and experience emotions, pushing the boundaries towards artificial life.
Watching a fascinating presentation by @GuangyuRobert at @OpenAI Dev Day. They seeded a Minecraft world with AI agents based on @OpenAI models. They saw emergent behaviors like merchants forming a trading hub and a “Pasta Priest” accumulating wealth to hand it to the Pasta… https://t.co/irPiXp4eSP
Still on AI ? @Altera_AL is leapfrogging to AL - artificial life. Running agents, not for seconds or minutes, but for days https://t.co/CiRh1BchFY
Altera is building "digital humans" with GPT-4o to enhance human-AI collaboration! These agents don't just assist—they interact, collaborate, and even experience emotions. From playing #Minecraft with you to tackling long-term autonomy challenges, Altera is redefining AI. #AI… https://t.co/PVlWiFI9hC
