AI That Predicts When Two People Will Kiss

What happens when you let AI watch hundreds of hours of drama television and films, and then ask it to predict when two characters leaning toward one another will kiss?
That was the question that drove a research project from one MIT team, which discovered a computer could be accurate 43% of the time, as opposed to humans who averaged 71%.
The results show computers have a long way to go in interpreting human intentions. That gap is exactly why the research matters, as we look to AI to help do everything from powering autonomous cars on the road alongside humans to organizing the world’s information.
