This Stuffed Animal is Powered by Artificial Intelligence

'DIRO the Bear' is an interactive toy that is powered by artificial intelligence. In recent years, many toys have been equipped with high-tech features such as audio and video. This brilliant tech-integrated teddy bear puts a whole new spin on the idea of an intelligent toy.

DIRO was created by Russian entrepreneur Dmitry Tverdokhlebov. Despite its unassuming exterior, the bear is capable of serving as a nanny, a personal assistant and a homework helper. The toy is powered by artificial intelligence and speech recognition software, which gives it the ability to interact with humans. Rather than simply project pre-recorded dialogue, DIRO uses a speaker, microphone and an MP3 player to join in a conversation. In short, DIRO is the first toy that can listen, speak and access the internet.

Tverdokhlebov is currently running a crowdfunding campaign to mass produce the tech-integrated toy.
