A.I. Meets E.I. - Emotional Intelligence and the Mind Reading Robot

Can a robot predict individual human actions and even read minds?

Alex Blackwood is a corporate speaker, entertainer and communications specialist. He specialises in psychology and a form of magic known as mentalism. Mentalism leverages quirks of the human mind to create phenomena that appear like magic.

Craftworkz is an AI company, part of Chronos Group, one of Belgium's largest IT companies.

Blackwood Magic and Craftworkz have been working for the last year on developing an AI algorithm that can develop a sense of consciousness not seen before. We have combined specialized speech patterns, advanced predictive modelling and PDA (psychological data analysis) to create a new type of interactive AI.

This has been loaded on a humanoid robot and on 30 May we wish to present the results with our community.

Speakers will be Alex Blackwood (Blackwood Magic), Joris Nijman & Ferdi Klomp (Craftworkz), Oswald (AI) running on Pepper (humanoid robot).
