AI USAGE BY VIRTUAL HARMONY

A variety of Virtual Harmony applications and simulations make use of several AI tools, with many AI services offered in the form of interactive ‘AI Red Queen’ bots (both 2D and 3D formats).  The AI Red Queen bots make use of OpenAI capabilities up to the latest GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”). This enables AI Red Queen bots to accept as input any combination of text, audio, image, and video and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. They can respond to text and audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, which is similar to human response time.

The main AI App Tools Platform is used for managing and training AI models and bots used by Harmony Arts, LLC. Chat-based interaction is offered by clicking on a Red Queen icon located within a learning simulation or by clicking on a Red Queen icon offered on a Harmony Arts, LLC webpage (note: icon can be found in the lower right-hand corner of a web page; the Red Queen only appears on a Harmony Arts, LLC web page if specifically turned on for the page).

Harmony Arts AI App Tool Platform offers means to design and deploy AI interactive bots, via the AI Red Queen, in honor of the role served by the Red Queen in Lewis Carroll’s fantasy 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass. In the story, the Red Queen offers reflections that can diverge from an initial perception helping Alice to learn the importance of adaptation to change and the dangers of hallucinations. The Red Queen presents to Alice the reflection, “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!” This rather interesting comment by the Red Queen is sometimes referred to as the ‘Red Queen Problem’ wherein an attempt is made to address and keep pace with a challenge only to find that the approach taken might be outdated or ill conceived.

Harmony Arts uses the AI Red Queen in learning simulations to help promote critical thinking skills involved with addressing complexity and chaos wherein there are no known solutions, and one cannot be sure of what is possible in the face of unknowns.  The simulations offer instruction on ways to make sense of emerging complex phenomenon by probing–sensing–responding. For example, in the Mars Expedition simulation, participants are offered the opportunity to consider the three-body problem; the problem of taking the initial positions and velocities (or momenta) of three-point masses and solving for their subsequent motion according to Newton’s laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation. The three-body problem is a special case of the n-body problem. Unlike two-body problems, no general closed-form solution exists, as the resulting dynamical system is chaotic. Harmony Arts learning simulations offer participants an immersive 3D “sense of place” from which they can learn to probe, sense, and respond iteratively to a complex or chaotic challenge with the assistance of the AI Red Queen. Another example can be found with the Growth Quest simulation, wherein participants can receive AI assistance for personal and professional growth to better address complexity and chaotic events for a life worth living.

NOTE: Approved users can gain access to a comprehensive AI Red Queen App Tools Platform offering access to the Red Queen AI bot via open-ended text- or voice-based conversational prompting for assistance in accomplishing projects and creating content in a variety of formats (e.g., generation of text, software code, images from text or voice prompts, image to text creation, image to video creation, analysis of documents, etc.).
