Disney patents AI character that creates art from your shared memories
Disney has patented a system where an AI character asks users to recall a specific memory. It analyzes the story to find emotional themes that match the character's own stored memories, then uses those shared feelings to generate a creative piece like a song or story.
In the filing’s own words
A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing software code, a memory data structure storing memory features for an artificial intelligence interactive character (AIIC), and a trained machine learning (ML) model. The software code is executed to elicit, using the AIIC, a reminiscence from a user, predict, using the trained ML model and the reminiscence, one or more user memory feature(s) of the reminiscence, identify, using the memory data structure, one or more of the memory features for the AIIC as corresponding to the user memory feature(s), and determine, using the user memory feature(s), a mood modifier for a creative composition. The software code is further executed to produce, based on the mood modifier and the corresponding one or more of the plurality of memory features for the AIIC, the creative composition, and provide the creative composition to the AIIC.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A system comprising: a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory; the system memory storing a software code, a memory data structure storing a plurality of memory features for an artificial intelligence interactive character (AIIC), and a trained machine learning (ML) model; the hardware processor configured to execute the software code to: elicit, using the AIIC, a reminiscence from a user; predict, using the trained ML model and the reminiscence, at least one user memory feature of the reminiscence; identify, using the memory data structure, one or more memory features of the plurality of memory features for the AIIC as corresponding to the at least one user memory feature, by: applying a weighted similarity calculation across a plurality of dimensions of the at least one user memory feature and the plurality of memory features for the AIIC, to produce a weighted overall similarity score; and selecting the one or more memory features based on the weighted overall similarity score; determine, using the at least one user memory feature, a mood modifier for a creative composition; produce, based on the mood modifier and the one or more memory features, the creative composition; and provide the creative composition to the AIIC.
