This time last year, George
was a shadowy figure lurking among the ‘Top Secret’ projects of
media company, Televirtual. In the Berry World, their chief credential is that they gave Luke his first job - and after a year, he is still there, as Lead Designer (well, there isn't another one). George is the brains
behind the brilliant UK Artificial Intelligence Rollo Carpenter (or is it the
other way round?), who in 2006 won the international Loebner Prize for the
second year running, as the most life-like computer programme.
This time last year, George was only a database - part of a huge speech-learning programme called Jabberwacky. Then along came Luke and he got a face and a body (no legs yet...)
Always at the forefront of breaking news, last year’s Christmas Issue of News of the Berry World released one of the first photos of George ever to appear in the British Press. At the end of a busy year, George, now a minor digital celebrity, has featured in the Sunday Times, Guardian, Independent, and appeared on BBC News, Channel 4 News and ABC News in America. George also appeared at the Norwich Festival of Science, and was interviewed on Radio 1 by Chris Moyles! Rumour has it that George is heading up Norfolk's Digital Challenge Bid. You read it here first!
