The University of California, Berkeley, created "Roberta," an AI chatbot.
Roberta was created to investigate how artificial intelligence systems develop
Social intelligence and theory of mind.
Roberta was trained using a dataset of human dialogues by the researchers.
Roberta recognized and responded to her partners' mental states.
It can tell her spouse knew something or didn't know anything.
According to the researchers, this might have uses in education, mental health, and human-robot relationships.
AI systems with theory of mind, for example, might help those who struggle with social communication.
