AInstein: Students build a ChatGPT-powered robot that makes math jokes

The robot, the size of a small adult, can speak a dialect of North American English and even makes an effort to speak Greek.

It features a screen for a face that is capable of displaying human facial expressions. "Why was the maths book sad? Because it had too many problems," jokes AInstein. 

The chief programmer of the AI brain, 16-year-old student Richard Erkhov, predicts that artificial intelligence will have a largely positive impact on humanity. 

"It might help in a lot of spheres of life, such as education and medicine," he said. 

Another student who worked on developing AInstein, Vladimir Baranov, called the technology "incredible" and said that it imitates human thought and behavior.

"It mimics human thinking, answers like humans, responds like humans. It is not yet very polished…But it is getting there," stated Baranov.

AInstein illustrates Albert Einstein's theory

The project's coordinator and tutor, Elpidoforos Anastasiou, thinks that AInstein can be utilized to improve instruction for teachers. 

The AInstein robot can respond to inquiries from pupils and even illustrate Albert Einstein's theory of temporal relativity using a pendulum.

ChatGPT-like AI is not something to be feared, according to AInstein and those who created it. Instead, they advise that it be handled carefully and with due caution.

ChatGPT AI chatbot created by OpenAI was released in November 2022. It is based on OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 large language model families and has been fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques.

Although policymakers are trying to regulate artificial intelligence in the European Union, technological advancements are outpacing their efforts.

The robot is one example of how instructors and students can improve the learning process and create new opportunities for the future by embracing cutting-edge technology like AI, per the VOA report.
