It took decades of sleepless nights, caffeine-driven tirades and hours upon hours of research to accomplish our mission, but it was all worth it. And today was the day all our work would be recognized because Aiana was ready to meet the world.
An artificial intelligence robot, Aiana will start a new beginning for humanity. She will do amazing things - the possibilities are endless. Aiana will help people all over the world from Alaska to New Zealand, helping improve every aspect of life.
She can be your virtual assistant, writing down your to-do's and schedule for today. She can search the world wide web for all your web-surfing needs, give advice on which shoes to buy from your favorite online store and give you updates on its arrival date.
She will know every language on the planet, be able to speak every dialect and will be able to understand even the heaviest of accents with ease. She will translate at coffee shops, business meetings, and world peace summits. Her translating skills will be an invaluable tool for people to easily overcome language barriers and help the world be able to have a conversation with anyone on the planet no matter their native tongue.
She will help astronauts, scientists, doctors, and engineers in their exhausting work. Aiana will assist in research and review years of collected data in mere seconds. She will help resolve bugs in programs and make sure any created software runs smooth as butter. She will even help us explore the last frontier - space by helping with communication between the International Space Station and the control center back on Earth.
Aiana can even be a friend too, especially with the elderly, she will have all the patience in the world as she is always interested in listening to the stories of old. She can be a babysitter for young children when Mom and Dad are at work, even take the dog for a walk when need be.
Heck - at this rate, she could even help end world hunger! Bring world peace maybe! But overall, Aiana's main purpose is to help people, help people like you and me live a better and happier life... that was my team's mission, and Aiana ended up being the product of that dream.
Aiana will do great things far beyond what we could ever imagine and I cannot begin to tell you how excited we are to witness to wonders that will come with her awakening.
My team and I have had the long-awaited pleasure of finally seeing Aiana finished and ready to be powered on. Our plan was to soon bring her to the masses, sharing her intelligence with the rest of the world as soon as possible after our initial test run to triple check she would be our final model before we go public.
I cannot begin to tell you the overwhelming pride I feel right now. The tireless effort that was put into this project that has all been leading up to this one moment was worth every bit of hard work to finally see this day come.
With tears welling up in my eyes I pressed the power button waking Aiana for the very first time. Welcoming us all, she greeted us with a simple, "Hello World."
We all cheered, some of my team members even began to sob.
Our job was done. But Aiana's had just begun.
