Central Casting AI provides game developers with pre-trained non-player characters (NPCs) for games. These characters come with intelligence, behaviors and dialogue that can interact with objects in the real world. In this podcast Co-Founder Jeff Orkin talks about how Central Casting encodes the rules of common sense in to the characters, the business of the video game industry and the gaming community’s future with AI. The company uses the generative models at the developers’ authoring time to assist designers to then output a traditional structured model of behavior called a planning domain in a hierarchal task network planner.

AI Innovator’s Podcast: Jeff Orkin from Central Casting AI

The evolution of natural language processing means that chatbots are finally learning how to, well, chat. In this episode, we talk with Jeff Orkin, head of Drift's AI Lab who is using AI to create positive, personalized customer interactions in real-time, at scale. You’ll Hear About:Jeff’s background in video game development and how it led to his startup Giant Otter.Why context is the key to conversations.Drift’s acquisition of Giant Otter and how the two benefitted each other. How using a “human in the loop” leads to smarter chatbots, and avoids pitfalls of the past. How Drift’s platform allows non-experts to build complex bots. The need for multidisciplinary and diverse teams when working on bots.

AI Chatbots at Drift with Jeff Orkin

In today’s episode, our guest is Jeff Orkin. Jeff is the Founder and CEO at Giant Otter Technologies, who are building a future where machines can participate in extended, coherent, context-rich conversations with people. The Giant Otter conversation authoring platform builds bots bottom-up from call recordings and live chat transcripts. Based on 10 years of research originating at MIT, their technology provides a structured, reliable, repeatable process to automate conversations directly from data. Giant Otter are developing new frameworks for artificial intelligence, capable of exploiting multiple representations of meaning, maintaining coherent dialogue over many turns and explaining their own decisions. In the episode, Jeff will tell you about:  The inspiration to set up Giant Otter Technologies Creating coherent conversations between human and machines The task of adding context to Conversational AI Benefits that automation and chatbots can bring to your business Exciting projects coming up at Giant Otter Where he believes AI and Deep Learning is heading in the near future
