Longmont’s Robauto is working with a Denver software startup to bring artificial intelligence-powered therapy to kids dealing with behavioral issues. In simple terms artificial intelligence refers to a machine that can think for itself quickly using data it is being fed. It can learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks, according to a description of AI on the website of SAS, a provider of software and services, including data analytics. Many years ago Robauto’s founder, Jalali Hartman, created a robot to help children with autism spectrum disorder communicate and have social interaction using artificial intelligence.
