“…Robot psychology (Stock 2019) and measures for how human and how intelligent we consider our digital companions to be (perceived robot anthropomorphism) are in the works (Moussawi and Koufaris 2019). Defining seamless connections between humans and objects in order to augment both is underway (Cena et al 2019). No one seems to stop to ask if creating more digital companions that appear increasingly human is really beneficial to the future of our species in the long run.…”

Digital assistants engage with us with increasingly human-like conversations, including the expression of human emotions with such utterances as "I am sorry…", "I hope you enjoy…", "I am grateful…", or "I regret that…". By 2021, digital assistants will outnumber humans. No one seems to stop to ask if creating more digital companions that appear increasingly human is really beneficial to the future of our species. In this essay, we pose the question: "How human should computer-based human-likeness appear?" We rely on the philosophy of humanness and the theory of speech acts to consider the long-term consequences of living with digital creatures that express human-like feelings. We argue that feelings are the very substance of our humanness and therefore are best reserved for human interaction.

“…In general, they allow for the easier and faster creation of applications by purposefully arranging and interrelating operational concepts. Cena et al (2019) sketched up a framework for incorporating multi-dimensional intelligence in smart physical objects. The generic functionality offered by AI-frameworks can be selectively changed by additional, purposely developed constituents, thus providing application-specific features and services.…”

Connectors of smart design and smart systems

Though they can be traced back to different roots, both smart design and smart systems have to do with the recent developments of artificial intelligence. There are two major questions related to them: (i) What way are smart design and smart systems enabled by artificial narrow, general, or super intelligence? and (ii) How can smart design be used in the realization of smart systems? and How can smart systems contribute to smart designing? A difficulty is that there are no exact definitions for these novel concepts in the literature. The endeavor to analyze the current situation and to answer the above questions stimulated an exploratory research whose first findings are summarized in this paper. Its first part elaborates on a plausible interpretation of the concept of smartness and provides an overview of the characteristics of smart design as a creative problem solving methodology supported by artificial intelligence. The second part exposes the paradigmatic features and system engineering issues of smart systems, which are equipped with application-specific synthetic system knowledge and reasoning mechanisms. The third part presents and elaborates on a conceptual model of AI-based couplings of smart design and smart systems. The couplings may manifest in various concrete forms in real life that are referred to as “connectors” in this paper. The principal types of connectors are exemplified and discussed. It has been found that smart design tends to manifest as a methodology of blue-printing smart systems and that smart systems will be intellectualized the enablers of implementation of smart design. Understanding the affordances of and creating proper connectors between smart design and smart systems need further explorative research.

“…Networked interactions are instead the focus of IoT research. Design principles and considerations developed by the IoT research community include proposals for the characteristics and capabilities of the smart objects composing the IoT [18], [19], [50], on the services they can support [4], or on processes for industries [37]. The importance of designing interactions more human-friendly of such smart objects has been advocated by Miranda and colleagues [73], who highlighted how the current tools and technologies supporting the interaction between the IoT and humans force the user to adapt to technology rather than making technology adapt and assist the user.…”

“…To address these questions on the added value of SMIs we corroborate the definition by proposing a set of capabilities that SMIs may have. Our proposal builds upon different lines of research on the concept of intelligence in smart objects (e.g., [38], [50]) and in particular the recent work of Cena et al [18], who proposed a framework for the design and the classification of smart objects based on a multi-dimensional characterization of intelligence. Indeed, in line with those authors' view, the smart behavior of a SMI is the result of proper combinations of several dimensions of intelligence: a SMI should have the ability to support musicians in their activities, interacting and managing social relations with them, the context and possibly other SMIs and Musical Things.…”

Smart musical instruments (SMIs) are a family of Internet of Musical Things devices for music creation. They are characterized by sensors, actuators, embedded intelligence, and wireless connectivity to local networks and to the Internet. In this paper, we depict a vision for this recent research area, which merges the research fields on digital musical instruments and smart objects, and fosters new types of interactions between the player and the instrument, between the player and other players, and between the player and audience members. We propose a set of capabilities and technical features characterizing SMIs, as well as a design for a technological architecture supporting them. To illustrate possible applications enabled by this vision, we present a set of scenarios exploiting the intelligence embedded in SMIs. We also propose a set of guidelines that can help digital luthiers in the process of designing SMIs. Finally, we present a set of directions for future research.
