While serving as Head of the Artificial Intelligence Department at the U.S. Army War College for several years, and while teaching graduate courses in expert systems at several California universities, I explored and developed personality simulation systems, an advanced technology used in military war games, FBI profiling, political campaigning, and advertising.
These profiling or personality simulation systems:
· capture a person's mental components: actions, beliefs, ideas, attitudes, purchasing patterns, habits, etc.
· translate these into a computer system: a program which prioritizes and relates the various elements to an overall purpose
o example 1: a consumer profile which gives a certain weight to specific kinds of purchases the person makes and predicts what products they would buy in the future
o example 2: a criminal behavior profile based on prior indictments or convictions used to predict future criminal activity
· use the system to influence and control that person's ideas and behavior
o example 1: TV ads based on the profile developed from the consumer's purchasing patterns
o example 2: military counterintelligence activities based on a profile of the enemy's leadership
This may sound like science fiction or Frankenstein's laboratory, but it is the actual state of the technology in personality simulation and control.
Personality simulation falls within the domain of artificial intelligence. From its inception, artificial intelligence (AI) has been primarily concerned with developing systems which simulate human behavior for the purpose of controlling such behavior….
