Artificial human companion

Artificial human companions are any kind of hardware or software creation designed to give companionship to a person.

Examples include digital pets, such as the popular Tamagotchi, or robots, such as the Sony AIBO. Virtual companions can be used as a form of entertainment, or they can be medical or functional, to assist the elderly in maintaining an acceptable standard of life. Various types of large language models (LLMs) are used in the development of AI-based human companions. These can engage in natural and dynamic conversations, provide assistance, offer companionship, and even perform tasks like scheduling or information retrieval.
