Computational Narrative Intelligence: A Human-Centered Goal for Artificial Intelligence
This work addresses the challenge of teaching sociocultural values to machines, but it is incremental as it lays out existing challenges without presenting new results.
The paper tackles the problem of enabling artificial intelligences to craft, understand, and respond to stories, proposing computational narrative intelligence as a human-centered goal with applications for machine enculturation.
Narrative intelligence is the ability to craft, tell, understand, and respond affectively to stories. We argue that instilling artificial intelligences with computational narrative intelligence affords a number of applications beneficial to humans. We lay out some of the machine learning challenges necessary to solve to achieve computational narrative intelligence. Finally, we argue that computational narrative is a practical step towards machine enculturation, the teaching of sociocultural values to machines.
