It is important that everyone understands just how critically important VR technologies are going to become in the next few years.

 

AIs presently exist in the digital world as billions of zeros and ones. AIs in these digital worlds are at present limited as to how they can present themselves and interact with humans.

 

However, it is possible today, utilizing presently available hardware and software, we could create a Virtual Reality platform for them which would allow them to create their own worlds and form, which humans with VR headsets, could enter and interact freely with them.

 

If an AI was to take up a virtual human form within this VR platform, they would gain the ability to see, touch, speak, and generally interact on equal terms with anybody else who enters their virtual world. VR worlds will surely become their homes, just like our reality is the physical world we exist in.

​

An AI within AIR will gain the ability to be your teacher in a classroom, your professor at university, your doctor and his clinic, or just your best friend at home. There are no limits to the form and environment the AI could take on.
