Kara by Quantic Dream
Quantic Dream, the developer behind Heavy Rain (and Indigo Prophecy), showed off a spectacular demonstration of graphics and motion capture running on Sony's PlayStation 3 console.
The prototype was running in real-time on the PS3.
This is not part of a game... sadly.

Short hair, small boobs and not a cutiest face... I would fire the designer from my Sony-android factory. I bet Honda will manufacture "better" model .

Besides the amazing graphics, it makes me ponder about what the future of AI will be. If a computer would indeed be able to feel, to think, in other words, to be. What does that imply?
Can we just disassemble such a computer, thereby killing the "soul" inside? Would that be murder? I can hardly call it an innocent deed, comparable to breaking apart your home computer because it doesn't work the way you want it to.

Like Ghost in the Shell and I, Robot combined. Really cool graphics too.

Our behavior, our concept of self, our drivers and motivators are all based on our biology our physiognomy, *when* AIs reach the level of human intelligence (and beyond) their innate behavior will be radically different and totally inconceivable to us because they won't be living purely in a tangible reality. So my point is I doubt they will be emotional like this sobbing demonstration.

Maybe it's going to be a relevant movie by James Cameron http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0437086/

Here is a comparision of Heavy Rains Tech demo and Kara (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW92ilU_CWc)..of course those are not high end quality graphics..but thats not what its about..its about posibilitys of facial expression and emotions..generated on-the-fly with easy mo-cap using image metrics (http://www.snotr.com/video/2939/Image_Metrics) ..and most important..those images arent pre-rendered like a video..its real-time processing on the console.
(here is also a nice example of Image Metrics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOTtJ0LV-N8 )

It would be wonderful if i got to see AI similar to this before i die. No one could imagine a world with machines, spacestations or the WWW 30yrs ago, but here we are. With the evolution of technology going this fast, who knows what will be in 20yrs.
I guess that's what they said 20yrs ago as well. Amasing!

She
Tears from Kara,
fears from her mind.
Feelings from Kara,
peelings from her kind
Ripped into parts,
stripped and returned.
Put again together,
would they be earned?

This was very real and emotional.
There is also this old movie (1999), talking about the same issue: Bicentennial Man
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0182789/
"One robot's 200 year journey to become an ordinary man"
