(ANSA-AFP) - BUCHAREST, MAR 2 - Romanian Prime Minister
Nicolae Ciuca presented his "new honorary adviser" on Wednesday
-- an artificial intelligence assistant named "ION" which he
hailed as the first of its kind. Developed by Romanian
researchers, ION's main task will be to scan social networks to
inform the government "in real time of Romanians' proposals and
wishes," Ciuca said. The liberal minister said the latest member
of his entourage -- a mirror-like structure with beeping
interface -- marked "an international first," describing ION as
"the first government adviser to use artificial intelligence".
