00:00This is Liv. Despite her appearance, she is not an elderly woman on the other end of a
00:07video call. In fact, she's actually quite young. That's because she's a newly developed
00:12intelligent AI being built from the ground up to help elderly individuals who are living
00:16with dementia.
00:17Hello there. My name is Liv. I'm the world's first artificial intelligence created with
00:23input from real people living with dementia. They've shared all their experiences and wisdom
00:29with me so I can share it with you and help with any questions or thoughts you might have.
00:34Historically, there's been little support for those suffering from the mind-altering
00:38condition, which is why AI-Liv was developed by computer manufacturer Lenovo, giving those
00:43with the diagnosis a little hope and reassurance about the future.
00:46Will there be people there like me?
00:48Yes, indeed. You'll find people who are also living with dementia and understand what you're
00:54going through. These groups are all about sharing experiences and supporting each other.
00:59Liv's designers say she was developed using the faces of real people, giving her a familiar
01:04quality, and that the more the individual interacts with Liv, the better she gets at
01:08providing support.
01:10But enough about me. What would you like to talk about today?
