 It's finally come to this:  A new science fiction movie called "b" will be the first film to rely on an artificially intelligent actor...

A new science fiction movie called "b" will star an A.I. robot named ERICA.  Her creators "taught" her to act by applying the principles of method acting to artificial intelligence.

The movie follows, quote, "a scientist who discovers dangers associated with a program he created to perfect human DNA and helps the artificially intelligent woman he designed escape."

The woman will be played by ERICA, an actual A.I. robot.  Her creators "taught" her the craft by applying the principles of method acting to artificial intelligence.

One of them says, quote, "Erica has no life experiences.  She was created from scratch to play the role.

"We had to simulate her motions and emotions through one-on-one sessions, such as controlling the speed of her movements, talking through her feelings and coaching character development and body language."

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
