AI Native Case Study #45: Altera

👏 Altera, founded by Dr. Robert Yang and his team, is pioneering “digital humans,” revolutionizing human-agent interactions with emotional and cognitive capabilities.

🌟 Background
Altera, a research lab founded in 2023, focuses on creating intelligent agents that interact like humans, leveraging the power of AI to enhance user experiences in various applications.

🏔️ Challenge
The primary challenge faced by Altera was data degradation, a significant issue for AI models functioning autonomously over extended periods, affecting decision-making quality and performance.

💡 Solution
Altera utilized OpenAI’s GPT-4 models to combat data degradation, enhancing both cognitive and emotional functionalities in their agents, allowing for meaningful interactions without performance decline.

🚀 Benefit
🔹 Enhanced autonomy: Digital agents can operate for up to four hours autonomously.
🔹 Improved engagement: Achieved 32% effectiveness in distinct item collection in Minecraft, surpassing competitors.
🔹 Advanced performance: OpenAI models showed superior stability and task handling, even at lower cost.

📊 Evaluation
Ethical AI: (7/10) Altera aims for emotional AI, but ethical risks of autonomous agents need careful management.
AI Native: (9/10) The use of GPT-4 to create digital humans demonstrates a strong AI Native application focus.
Application Modernization: (8/10) Altera’s work modernizes applications by integrating cognitive models with AI for better user interactions.
