Announcing the newly issued U.S. patent concerning ethical artificial intelligence entitled: Inductive Inference Affective Language Analyzer Simulating Artificial Intelligence (patent No. 6,587,846) by inventor/author John E. LaMuth M. S. - issued 7/1/2003. As implied in its title, this innovation is the 1st affect- ive language analyzer incorporating ethical/motivational terms, serving in the role of interactive computer interface. It enables a computer to reason and speak in an ethical fashion, serving in roles specifying sound human judgement: such as public relations or security functions. This innovation is formally based on a multi-level hierarchy of the traditional groupings of virtues, values, and ideals, collectively arranged as subsets within a hierarchy of metaperspectives - as partially depicted below. Glory--Prudence Honor--Justice Providence--Faith Liberty--Hope Grace--Beauty Free-will--Truth Tranquility--Ecstasy Equality--Bliss Dignity--Temperance Integrity--Fortitude Civility--Charity Austerity--Decency Magnanim.--Goodness Equanimity--Wisdom Love--Joy Peace--Harmony The systematic organization underlying this ethical hierarchy allows for extreme efficiency in programming, eliminating much of the associated redundancy, providing a precise determination of motivational parameters at issue during a given verbal interchange. This AI platform is organized as a tandem-nested expert system, composed of a primary affective-language analyzer overseen by a master control-unit (that coordinates the verbal interactions over real time). Through an elaborate matching procedure, the precise motivational parameters are accurately determined (defined as the passive-monitoring mode). This basic determination, in turn, serves as the basis for a response repertoire tailored to the computer (the true AI simulation mode). This innovation is completely novel in its ability to simulate emotionally charged language: an achievement that has previously eluded AI researchers due to the lack of an adequate model of motivation in general. As such, it represents a pure language simulation, effectively bypassing many of the limitations plaguing current robotic research. Affiliated potential applications extend to the roles of switchboard/receptionist and personal assistant/companion (in a time-share mode).
