GEO Must Learn How to Interpret Humanity
GEO is the student. Humanity is the curriculum.
When a veteran American Sign Language interpreter is recruited to train the world’s first AGI humanoid robot as an interpreter, she must teach it how humans express empathy, restraint, sadness, fear and moral judgement. GEO must learn how to interpret humanity.
What is TEACHING GEO?
Communication is connection. Connection is everything.
TEACHING GEO is not a story about Artificial General Intelligence replacing humanity.
It is a story about what humanity chooses to teach intelligence.
Set in the near future, the series follows the GEO Initiative, a groundbreaking project developed by EQUA Industries to create the first AGI humanoid sign language interpreter, GEO.
While GEO is extraordinary and can process language with super-human speed and accuracy, the true challenge is teaching him why people say what they say,
The human emotions that exist behind the words.
EQUA Industries is a global communications and technology company whose flagship project is the GEO Initiative. Combining advances in artificial general intelligence, language science and accessibility technology, EQUA believes barriers to communication can be eliminated.
At the heart of that effort is GEO, the world’s first AGI humanoid sign language interpreter.
“Mark it. Learn it.”
GEO (Generalized Exchange Operator) is the world’s first AGI Humanoid sign language interpreter.
Designed to bridge communication between Deaf and hearing communities.
GEO posses extraordinary language and speech capabilities.
GEO is driven by an insatiable desire to learn.
Seeks to understand why people say what they say- not just the words they say.
Learning that communication involves empathy, trust, fear, and human connection.
Who is GEO?
GEO is the student. Humanity is the curriculum.
As GEO, the world’s first AGI sign language interpreter, learns to navigate increasingly complex human situations, society begins confronting a question far larger than interpreting itself.
If intelligence can learn from us, what will we teach it?
