What\u2019s an avatar? It is an animated caricature that you choose to represent yourself in a virtual world. To see one for yourself visit<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/secondlife.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/secondlife.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note: An avatar, in the context of this post, is a caricature of you not a character in, or a reference to, the movie Avatar.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 40%; margin: 10px; border-style: double: border-width: 5px; border-color: blue; border-radius: 15px; box-shadow: 4px 4px 10px grey;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/mooxidesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/free-business-user-avatars-set.png\" vspace=\"10px\/\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Avatars might look like this, might not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">Your Informed AI avatar will \u2018know\u2019 your likes, dislikes, clothing size, favorite color, what car you drive, where you live, and any other information that you upload to its database. It will also be semi-intelligent. Meaning that your avatar will heuristically learn your likes and dislikes allowing it to make decisions and take actions on its own using Fuzzy Logic algorithms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">Fuzzy logic allows your avatar to purchase something for $15.22 that you told it not to spend more than fifteen dollars on. Fussy logic means making sense out of fuzzy data, and it does.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buying Merchandise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">When your avatar finds merchandise you want to buy, it will have the capability to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Notify you that it found the item, the location, price, and ask for instructions<\/li>\n<li>Buy the item, and notify you after the fact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">So, when the shoes you\u2019ve been drooling over go on sale your IAI will buy them and have them shipped to you. An early Christmas present to yourself? Sure, why not.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">When the computer you want hits your predetermined price, the avatar may buy it and notify you, or contact you for verification. Depending, of course, on what you\u2019ve instructed it to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">With informed AI, you can do business 24 hours per day; in real time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Investments, Mortgages, And more<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">This technology can easily be extended to stocks, bonds, currency, a mortgage, investments, airline tickets; you name it. Your avatar will buy your seat at the movies, theater tickets, sporting event tickets getting you the best seat in the house; as soon as they go on sale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">It will literally work for you around the clock scouring the net for whatever you\u2019ve told it to acquire. That includes information.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">Imagine an intelligent agent haunting the net looking for one tiny piece of data. And then another tiny piece of data. What will you do with the vast amount of data you will have to work with? Big data that\u2019s what. Your avatar will need help when you ask it to gather and process information beyond its capability. So, look for pay-for-play big data processing houses to spring up. Now your avatar does the gathering. Depositing its findings into your account at your bid data processor. In a few hours, days, minutes, or seconds your output is in your hands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">When in the market for a new home, apartment, or condominium you will shop in a manner that we can only dream of today. No more driving around and looking at place after place with an agent, human agent. Those days will be gone and anyone whose has done that will be glad to see them go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">With three-dimensional, high resolution, digital photography you will be able preview a property without actually visiting it (think enhanced Google Street View). When you want to schedule a walk through your avatar does that. Want to buy? Your avatar schedules the closing; which will likely be completed online.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">All this done in hours or days. As to moving, your bot has gotten the best price and scheduled a crew to take care of that. And because you won\u2019t have time to shop, your avatar made reservations for you at a local restaurant. Local to your new digs, of course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">To sum up, Informed AI will do business on your behalf for everything from utilities to vehicles to fuel electronics to real estate. A win &#8211; win situation for everyone. Let&#8217;s hope.<\/p>\n<h2>ADDENDUM<\/h2>\n<h2>This post was written in early July 2018.
