Disney patents AI characters that create art from shared memories


Disney describes a system where an AI character asks a user to share a memory. The system uses machine learning to find similar memories in the AI's own database and creates a creative performance based on the emotional tone of that match.
In the filing’s own words
There is provided a system including a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code and a memory data structure storing memory features for an artificial intelligence interactive character (AIIC). The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to elicit, using the AIIC, a reminiscence from a user, predict, using a trained machine learning model and the reminiscence, at least one user memory feature, identify, using the memory data structure, one or more of the memory features for the AIIC based on a similarity between the predicted at least one user memory feature and the memory features for the AIIC, determine a mood modifier based on emotion information of the identified one or more of the memory features for the AIIC, and generate a creative composition for performance by the AIIC based on the mood modifier.
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 and a memory data structure storing a plurality of memory features for an artificial intelligence interactive character (AIIC); the hardware processor configured to execute the software code to: elicit, using the AIIC, a reminiscence from a user; predict, using a trained machine learning (ML) model and the reminiscence, at least one user memory feature; identify, using the memory data structure, one or more of the plurality of memory features for the AIIC based on a similarity between the predicted at least one user memory feature and the plurality of memory features for the AIIC; determine a mood modifier based on emotion information of the identified one or more of the plurality of memory features for the AIIC; and generate a creative composition for performance by the AIIC based on the mood modifier.
