  Are you familiar with this project: The Xeno Sutra: Can Meaning and Value be Ascribed to an AI-Generated "Sacred" Text? Murray Shanahan, Tara Das, Robert Thurman Imperial College London, University of London, Mysore India, Columbia University 2025 https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.20525 ChatGPT said: I’m familiar with the general research area but haven’t yet processed that exact paper, as it’s very recent (July 2025) and not widely discussed yet. Let me quickly summarize what I can tell from the info you gave and the abstract on arXiv: “The Xeno Sutra: Can Meaning and Value be Ascribed to an AI-Generated ‘Sacred’ Text?” Authors: Murray Shanahan (Imperial College London), Tara Das (University of London, Mysore India), Robert Thurman (Columbia University) Published: July 2025 From the title and author expertise, this looks like an interdisciplinary work at the intersection of: AI and generative language models (Murray Shanahan is a noted AI researcher), Religious studies and phil...

  🧠  Unit 2: Emotion Modeling Architectures in Affective Computing Goal:  You will understand and apply major computational models used to represent and reason about human emotion in software systems. These models provide  structured frameworks  for classifying, predicting, and generating emotional states in AI. 🔹  Frame 1: Why Emotion Models? Instruction: Raw emotional signals (e.g., facial expressions, voice tone) are  ambiguous . Emotion modeling systems provide a  conceptual bridge  between input and interpretation by mapping signals onto structured representations. Three widely used models: OCC Model  (Ortony, Clore & Collins) PAD Model  (Pleasure, Arousal, Dominance) EMA Model  (Emotion and Adaptation, Marsella & Gratch) Each has different strengths depending on use case (e.g., storytelling, virtual agents, robotics, mental health). Prompt: What is the purpose of using emotion models in affective computing? A. T...
