What they didn’t count on were the effects of several months of
self-iteration within the complex machine-learning code which gave Kenji
his first tenderness. As of last week, Kenji’s love for the doll, and
indeed anybody he sets his ‘eyes’ on, is so intense that Dr. Takahashi
and his team now fear to show him to outsiders.
The trouble all
started when a young female intern began to spend several hours each day
with Kenji, testing his systems and loading new software routines. When
it came time to leave one evening, however, Kenji refused to let her
out of his lab enclosure and used his bulky mechanical body to block her
exit and hug her repeatedly. The intern was only able to escape after
she had frantically phoned two senior staff members to come and
temporarily de-activate Kenji.
