Published purpose

Animo is a game that utilizes reinforcement learning technologies to enable the player to perform and enable complex behaviours. It is a story about the role of creativity and empathy in nurturing compassionate and sustainable Artificial Intelligence (AI). This is done through an interactive 3D experience that slowly teaches the user how to train and empathize with little AI creatures. Users will be able to use cutting-edge Machine Learning (ML) techniques to train virtual beings. Through playing with these virtual beings, users will be asked to carefully reflect on the interplay between creativity, automation, and the world around them.
